Koha Question of the Week: How Do Libraries Adjust Social Media Share Options in the OPAC?

Each Friday, we will bring you a new Koha Question of the Week. We will select real questions that we receive and share the answers with you!

Question: How Do Libraries Adjust Social Media Share Options in the OPAC?

Answer: Social media sharing buttons in OPAC detail pages are controlled by the SocialNetworks system preference introduced in 19.11. These options appear on the right hand side of the OPAC detail page, and include Email, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

In the years since that feature was introduced, the social media landscape has changed, so libraries may want to revisit those settings or even turn off all the options. As of 23.11, the next release, Twitter will no longer be an option, per bug 34584.
