Perimeter Institute Library Chooses ByWater Solutions’ Koha Support
ByWater Solutions, an open source community contributor and America’s forefront provider of Koha support, announced today that the Library at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario, Canada is now live with their installation of the Koha open source ILS.
ByWater Solutions has completed the migration for the Perimeter Institute and will be providing ongoing Koha Support for them. Their custom mobile-friendly OPAC can be viewed at http://library.perimeterinstitute.ca/.
Dawn Bombay, MLIS, Librarian spoke of her transition to Koha supported by ByWater:
“The folks at ByWater Solutions were amazing. They made the process almost painless when we decided to change from our current ILS to Koha 3.14. My IT department found them very easy to work with, and I loved the hands-on pampering we had during training. ByWater’s continued support as we tweak things has been wonderful. In particular I’d like to mention Nicole; I found her dual-perspective [Librarian/Provider] very helpful. She even changed my mind on a few ‘traditional chestnuts’.”
