San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis Chooses ByWater Solutions’ Koha Support
ByWater Solutions, an open source community contributor and America’s forefront provider of Koha support, announced today that the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, of San Francisco, CA. is now live on their installation of the Koha integrated library system.
ByWater Solutions completed the migration of the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis in late 2013 and will be providing ongoing Koha Support and Hosting services. Their custom mobile-friendly OPAC can be viewed at http://library.sf-cp.org/.
Alyson Barrett-Ryan, Library Director at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, spoke of their choice to move to Koha:
“Transitioning from a proprietary to an open source catalog was a necessary step for the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis Library, and partnering with ByWater Solutions enabled us to experience a smooth migration we could not have accomplished on our own. Our patrons enjoy the new Koha interface and SFCP librarians value the responsive training and support offered by ByWater Solutions. Additionally, our librarians and administrators appreciate the economy, potential and flexibility of Koha. We are thrilled to partner with ByWater and participate in the open source community!”
