I cannot answer your hardware questions yet, maybe in a month. But surely by then you'll have your answer. But I can comment on this: > Could every library host their > own databases or should they be centralized? If you have data centralized then your libraries would have to share some common policies among *ALL* libraries. AFAIK there's no bibliographic/system separation in koha, so you cannot have a separate centralized database for your bibliographic data and individual databases for the rest of the stuff. Here (UNCuyo, Mendoza, Argentina) we're about to implement a centralized koha for ~20 libraries, but all of them share the same rules, they must obey a central organism which dictates the policies. I believe trying to centralize data from libraries which have separate rules might give you major headaches. -- Fernando Canizo (a.k.a. conan) - http://conan.muriandre.com/ GCS d? s:+ a C++ P--- L++++ E--- W+++ w--- M-- PE-- !tv b+++ h---- y+++ _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
