The Emmaus Bible College Library Goes Live on ByWater Solutions Koha Support
ByWater Solutions, an open source community contributor and America’s forefront provider of Koha support, announced today that the Emmaus Bible College Library, of Dubuque, IA. is now live on Koha with ByWater Solutions! ByWater completed the migration of the library’s 150,000 plus holdings from Winnebago Spectrum and is providing ongoing support and hosting services to them. The library’s customized Koha OPAC can be viewed at: http://lib.emmaus.edu/
Nathan Curulla, Co-Owner of ByWater commented on the library’s decision to partner with ByWater:
“We are very excited to have the opportunity to work with the team at the Emmaus Bible College Library! Everyone involved in the migration to Koha has been enthusiastic and excited for the increase in functionality the will receive with the implementation of their new system. We look forward to a long and productive relationship!”
Beth Arjona, Librarian at the Library commented on their experience using Koha with ByWater:
“We finished out our first semester of Koha and I think we have all the processes transitioned from the “old way” to “the new Koha way” 🙂 The students really appreciate the functionality of Koha, and I love the upgrades that came with 16.11 like the “Forgot Password” option and the SMS messaging option– it has been fun to implement those!”
