[Koha-devel] Fwd: Canadian Library Association Information Request

[Brendan Gallagher]

Hi Paul -

We also received this (ByWater) - I was traveling list week so I didn't
have time to respond.  I did get an email back today after replying with
the documentation that Robin talks about in here.  I have not had time to
read it yet (other projects first).  Once I read it and respond - I will
also respond here.  (May take me a few days to get to it)

Cheers,
Brendan
