Koha is an open-source Integrated Library System (in short ILS). It is basically used for library automation. By using Koha one can search a book in the system.
Advantages of using Koha
- Open source library automation software, i.e. no need to buy a paid-one library automation software.
- It reduces the workload of librarian.
- By using the koha online catalogue users can search their books they are interested in or they want to issue the book form the library.
- By using the koha catalogue (i.e. staff client) librarian and other library staff can easily maintain the library book issue and return in a very easy way.
- The most important feature of koha is- "offline circulation" i.e. when the server is down, the the librarian can issue or receive book to/from the student/faculties/other professionals
- we can customize our the library online catalogue by adding our own style sheets and customized pages
In next session we'll go through the installation of Koha both in windows and linux environment..
till then.... stay tune to dream technocrat blog
