Hello,<br>
<br>
I am new to this list so forgive me if these questions have already been
asked but I could not seem to find the answer on the kde forums. I am
volunteering for a school (non-profit) and we are using almost
exclusively Open Source software. After looking a few options such as
Koha & Evergreen to manage the School's library collection, I
stumbled onto Tellico and have been very impressed with the ease of use and capabilities.<br>
<br>
I am currently testing v 2.3.1 on Ubuntu 10.10 and it works well, we
scanned a few books at random and imported the ISBN into tellico and
were able to populate most of the books data using <a href="http://isbn.com">isbn.com</a> or amazon.<br>
<br>
The questions I have:<br>
<br>
1- Tellico not being DB driven, which directories are storing the collection data so I can include them in the backup?<br>
<br>
2- The school has a collection of approximately 10,000 books, will tellico be able to scale and handle this volume?<br>
<br>
3- The school being a French billingual school, many of the books have
been purschased in France. While the ISBN lookup works fine and
configured for Amazon & <a href="http://isbn.com">isbn.com</a> I still have a good % of books not
getting any data. I was wondering if anyone could suggest another
source to configure for books originating from France?<br>
<br>
4- Some books have multiple copies, I could not find a field set up to
indicate the number of copies? While I configured a new field for this
purpose, the check out process only sees 1 copy and therefore the other copies are
not available for checkout. The work around seems to be to create a duplicate of
the book but I am wondering if there is a better way of handling this?<br><br>Thank you in advance! <br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Stephan<br><br><br><br>
