American Bookbinders Museum Chooses ByWater Solutions’ Koha Support
ByWater Solutions, an open source community contributor and America’s forefront provider of Koha support, announced today that the American Bookbinders Museum in San Francisco, CA is now live with their installation of the Koha open source ILS.
ByWater Solutions has completed the migration for the American Bookbinders Museum and will be providing ongoing Koha Support and Hosting for them. Their custom mobile-friendly OPAC can be viewed at http://library.bookbindersmuseum.org/.
Amelia Grounds, Librarian, spoke of using Koha in her library:
“Koha has been providing us with a robust library management platform that is both affordable and manageable for our small institution. Additionally, the support that we have gotten both from ByWater and the Koha community in general has really made the adoption of the software a pleasure!”
About American Bookbinders Museum:
The American Bookbinders Museum was founded by Tim James, a commercial bookbinder who became fascinated with the craft’s history while he was amassing and upgrading his equipment. Researching and acquiring vintage materials became a dedicated hobby, but as his collection of machines, books and periodicals became more massive it raised the question of what he was supposed to do with all of it. The answer was to use these resources to mount an authentic, fully-functional 19th century-style bookbindery.
