Implementation checklist

以下的指南帶您巡視 Koha 做為啟用前的準備。

It is not an exhaustive list of everything you need to do. Please consider your own library practices and what other checks are necessary for your own libary and context.

Data migration

使用 Koha 前應已有相當資料。可以人工逐筆鍵入,但多數情況是已有電子格式的資料祗需重新格式它們就能匯入 Koha。

  • Create a list of libraries and enter their info and codes into libraries

  • Define your list of item types

  • Define your patron categories and enter the categories and their codes into patron categories

  • Enter any additional patron information fields you use in your library in the patron attributes

    • Shelving locations (LOC)

    • Item statuses

    • 加上圖書館所需的其他資料

  • 對映您的讀者資料 由原來的系統至 Koha 欄位並轉換 (記得使用稍早設定的讀者與圖書館代碼)

  • 測試匯入的資料,包括:

    • 檢查讀音符號,是否正常。

    • 檢查集叢題名並確認集叢資訊正確地匯入。

    • 確認讀者的連絡資訊在正確的欄位。

    • 搜尋目錄裡已匯入的集叢資料確認人其正確性。

    • 搜尋目錄裡已匯入的集叢資料確認人其正確性。
