by Kalleen Marquise on Jun 18, 2021

ByWater Solutions, America’s forefront provider of Open Source library technology support, announced that Concordia University Texas Library in Austin, TX is now live on Koha!

ByWater completed the transition of the library's 43,500 plus bibs from Voyager and is providing ongoing support services to the library. The library's customized Koha OPAC can be viewed at https://ctxlibrary.bywatersolutions.com/

Kalleen Marquise, Partner Engagement Specialist, recently commented on the migration:

The Concordia team went through this migration during a difficult time, having experienced a severe weather event in February causing damage to their library. Throughout, the staff kept providing virtual assistance to students while going through this implementation! It was amazing to see their perseverance and we were proud to support them during this time."
