  1. try koha on Solving the Home Library Problem? · · Score: 1

    I have seen Koha (www.koha.org) implimented at a small library at the South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency, which is being used as a reference site for the implementation of it in other organisations throughout the South Pacific. All you need is the software, barcode printer and scanner. You scan or punch in the ISBN for the book and Koha looks it up on the Library of Congress database (I think) and adds the data to your Koha database, it then prints out a barcode sticker. I think it also does all the Dewey classification for you (on the printed sticker) so your books are automatically organised. Contact the librarian through the FFA website www.ffa.int.

  2. Remember Frank Hurley on Photographer Fired For Digitally Altering Photo · · Score: 1

    Frank Hurley was the photographer on Shackleton's ill-fated (but survivable) journey to the Antarctic. He later went on to be an official Australian WW1 and WW2 photographer. He was well known for his altering of photographs to improve the composition. Some of these altered photos are prominantly displayed in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. He never got sacked for it!
