ByWater Solutions, an open source community contributor and America’s forefront provider of Koha support, announced today that the StreamNet Regional Library, of Portland, OR. is now live on Koha with ByWater Solutions!

“The StreamNet Library serves the scientific community of the Pacific Northwest and those working in cooperation with the region’s fish and wildlife recovery efforts, who are not otherwise served by a specialized library. They also serve the General Public who are interested in the issues surrounding the Columbia Basin and Salmon Recovery Efforts. The Library offers research assistance, interlibrary lending and borrowing, document delivery and other library services.”

About the StreamNet Regional Library:
The StreamNet Regional Library provides access to technical information and research on the Columbia River basin fisheries, ecosystems and other relevant subjects for states in the Pacific Northwest. This information can be found in books, journals , computer files, technical reports, and other formats. The Library currently contains approximately 60,000 items and places particular emphasis on less commonly available “grey” literature, such as consultants’ reports, state government documents and non-profit organizations’ reports. For more information about the library, please visit: http://www.streamnetlibrary.org/
