The Free Public Library of Audubon goes live on Koha with ByWater Solutions
ByWater Solutions, an open source community contributor and America’s forefront provider of Koha support, announced today that the Free Public Library of Audubon, of Audubon, NJ is now live on Koha! ByWater Solutions completed the migration of the library’s 30,000 plus holdings from Follett last year and is providing ongoing Koha support services to them. The library’s hosting services are provided by Jersey Connect, a program in the state that provides free hosting services to libraries utilizing an open source ILS. The library’s customized Koha OPAC can be viewed at: http://audubon.bywatersolutions.com/
Nathan Curulla, Co-Owner of ByWater commented on the library’s move to Koha:
“New Jersey is a real hot bed for Koha interest right now and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Audubon Library now and going forward. The Jersey Connect hosting program, which offers free hosting to libraries moving to an open source system, is a fantastic and forward thinking initiative which rewards libraries embracing the ideas surrounding open technologies. Libraries pay us only for support so they are saving thousands yearly by using this program. We love this!”
