Everett 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 Everett Library at Queens University of Charlotte is now live on their installation of the Koha integrated library system.
ByWater Solutions completed the migration for the Everett Library this summer and will be providing ongoing Koha support and hosting services to them. Their custom OPAC can be viewed at http://everettcat.bywatersolutions.com
Martin F. Olsen, System and Electronic Resources Librarian, Everett Library, Queens University of Charlotte shares their migration experience:
“Our transition to the Koha system was a positive experience throughout, from the pre migration meetings to go-live. ByWater was always ready with support, anticipating situations we had not thought of. The training was excellent, every detail of the system was explained thoroughly. Our students and faculty love the many new features, including the shelf browse which has made shelving for our student library workers a snap. Librarians love being a part of the Koha community.”
