by Kalleen Marquise on Mar 23, 2021

ByWater Solutions, America’s forefront provider of Open Source library technology support, announced that Christian Witness Theological Seminary in San Jose, CA is now live on Koha!

ByWater completed the transition of hosting the library's 35,000 plus bibs and is providing ongoing support services to the library. The library's customized Koha OPAC can be viewed at cwts.bywatersolutions.com

Jessica Zairo of ByWater Solutions recently commented on their migration:

The Christian Witness Seminary team was already using Koha so this was not new to them but we are so glad they chose ByWater for hosting and support. We're always happy to take the workload of Koha upgrades and server maintenance off of library staff so that they can dedicate even more time to their amazing communities!
