One question : do you know the user difference between a librarian interface, and an opac ?
Not at all. I think OPAC @ port 8080 is for librarian while port 80 interface is used by library users, but I must say that I've a lot of doubts about many concepts implemented in Koha. WTFM? ;-)
That's what i thought... You're almost right. * OPAC means Online Public Access to Catalog. It's the end-user interface. In an OPAC, the borrower can search for a book, reserve it, and see it's status (the reader page) if he/she's identified. It's in port 80 on default installation. * librarian/8080 port is the librarian access. In it, you can do anything/everything.
I've seen that term in some webs dedicated to z3950, also about a project of an European OPAC standard based on z3950 although I've not read them (still) in depth. I must take a look at koha's user manual 'cause there're other concepts like "branches" that I do not understand well. thx. Paul.
