If you know littlebit about ISIS software then it will be very easy to use. If not then also not very difficult as its menu driven. You can create your own new database or it has standard Databases like MARC 21 from which you can create blank new database for your library too. Also you can create your library portal very easily. Search facility is excellent. Just go through the manual and start practicing. You will find it a very good and flexibile software.

OSS Lab's Koha workshop report
by Vimal Kumar 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Dear Friends, I would like to give you a brief overview of Koha workshop organized by Nucsoft OSS Labs on October 8, 9 and 10 in Bangalore. In my experience this workshop content designed in a different perspective. An extensive hand on training for small group (12 candidates) is the main attraction of this workshop. This workshop is suitable to acquire the knowledge in Koha installation and maintenance, especially for librarians going to handle system administration alone. Documentation of the workshop contains simplified (step-by-step) work procedures. Following are the details of workshop. Workshop High Lights: Three days workshop concentrated on only system side aspects of Koha; installation, trouble shooting, maintenance, crontab setting, data migration etc. Topics covered: Multi lingual cataloguing, Pazpar federated search engine, Zebra indexing engine, SIP-NCIP, Customization (look and feel) of online catalogue interface and Google Indic transliteration tool etc. Usability of workshop lessons in a library environment: Installation and maintenance of Zebra indexing engine Zebra indexing engine enhance searching capability of Koha online catalogue. It supports Boolean search expressions and relevance-ranked free-text queries. SIP-NCIP This plug-in makes Koha ready to adopt RFID technology. Pazpar Pazpar is a high performance federated searching engine tool. It will search a lot of targets (electronic databases) in parallel and provide on-the-fly integration of the results. This tool is very helpful to search in distributed electronic information resources. Customization Customization of online catalogue includes placing library logo, changing border designs, adding a side navigational menu and filling main space block. This session provided tips and tricks to beautify online catalogue interface. Trouble shooting lessons Trouble shooting lessons from Koha workshop will be helpful to solve system inconsistencies like performance problems, rebuilding indexes, bug fixing, zebra search problems, web and database server un availability. Ongoing maintenance It cover software up gradation, restoring and back up of database, scheduling tasks using crontab. Don’t miss coming workshops in Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai. http://www.osslabs.biz/koha_library_management_system/koha_workshops/ -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.
