ByWater Solutions, an open source community contributor and America’s forefront provider of Koha support, announced today that the Birmingham Museum of Art, of Birmingham, Alabama, is now live on their installation of the Koha integrated library system.
ByWater Solutions completed the migration for the Birmingham Museum of Art last year and will be providing ongoing Koha support and hosting services to them. Their custom mobile-friendly OPAC can be viewed at http://bma.bywatersolutions.com
Tatum Preston, Librarian at Birmingham Museum of Art, spoke of her decision to move to Koha:
“I have long been a fan of both the flexibility and value offered by open source products like Koha. I chose to go with ByWater Solutions as my support and hosting provider due to their excellent customer service, automatic software upgrades, and competitively-priced hosting options.‚Äù
