First time actually working in Koha (after reading some online manuals and help), so of course things a little shaky. I can't seem to get some imported records out of the reservoir, but I don't know if I'm lost or if the sandbox version is somewhat handicapped and just won't let me add imported records to the catalog.
I'll likely be back. Thanks for setting this up.

My staff spent a short time exploring the sandboxes last week. Their comments:
D. tested Koha. She had trouble logging in; she couldn't see the field boxes. On Koha, the cart button was bigger than the "go" button. Poor design?
I. had a hard time installing the Evergreen client. It took several tries. Finally got the client running. Used the recommended login only to be told: "XUL Runner is not responding."
In Koha public web interface, T. liked the shelf browser. Liked limiting advanced search by audience (easy juvenile, etc.). She likes the tabs at the top.
Koha actually works. Client module for Evergreen seems glitchy.
Koha works pretty well. We edited a patron record successfully.
We’ll take more time to play – we only had about 45 minutes together. I’d be interested in hearing what other librarians are finding while they play.
