About the Workshop Theme

World over, libraries are constantly facing challenges to meet the ever increasing expectations of users due to lack of funds.

According to a survey there were approximately 140 libraries around the world using koha since as early as 2007, including 30 in North America. Koha satisfies all the functional requirements of a library management system. It is full featured MARC based integrated library system and is constantly upgraded according to the changing technology requirements.
