 01 What is KOHA


Koha is an open source Integrated Library System (ILS), used world-wide by public, school and special libraries. The name comes from a Māori term for a gift or donation.


Koha is a full featured Integrated Library System (ILS). there is no cost for the license, you have the freedom to modify the product to adapt it to your needs, etc.
Developed initially in New Zealand by Katipo Communications with Horowhenua Library Trust.
It is currently maintained by a dedicated team of software providers and library technology staff from around the globe.
That by adopting it, the customer becomes "joint owner " of the product. In particular, the customer can freely install new versions or not, and can take part in new developments by financing them or by carrying them out them self.


02 Why Open Source Software Koha:

Proven, Stable Technologies: Koha is tried and tested and has   demonstrated both stability and scalability, used in hundreds of libraries worldwide.
Software Collaboration and Resource Sharing: software solutions that are freely available to all libraries worldwide. libraries benefits from the contributions of other participating library systems.
Long term Support:With proprietary software, source code is 'closed' and support and future development of the product rely on the success and resources of a single vendor. If the vendor goes under, so does your product support. open-source solutions rely on stable code bases developed and supported by many providers worldwide.
User-driven: open-source software user-driven--you decide what features are important and deserve attention rather than a vendor. continued----
