In PHP there was a script that I could run to resize images on upload - isn't there something similar for Perl that you could run on the image you're using so that when you set it to the background it fits in the space allotted? --- Nicole C. Engard Open Source Evangelist, LibLime (888) Koha ILS

(http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:rfcs3.2:rfc32_guided_reports) Guided reports are great. However, they are fully hardcoded SQL atm. There's no possibilities to have parameters that are fixed at run time. That would be usefull, for example, when you want to build a report that run

I would start by pointing them at the MARC standard: http://www.loc.gov/marc/ , and tell them to start there. If that doesn't dissuade them then look up the z39.50 protocol, and tell them that that is the next step. Then point them at IndexData's Zebra engine, and that's the next step. Then tell
