ByWater Solutions, America’s forefront provider of Open Source library technology support, announced that three more New Hampshire libraries joined NHAIS with Koha support from ByWater Solutions. We're thrilled to help bring more libraries onto the New Hampshire Automated Information System with NHAIS. Over the years, the system has grown to include more and more Koha catalogs.
