Greetings to all! The Koha OPAC is a rich environment that provides several facilities to its users. Many libraries around the world have built a complete digital presence (aka library portal) around it. Yet one feature that is missing natively in the Koha OPAC is an user feedback form.

The plugin is licensed under GNU GPL v3.0 (in simple English that means it is Free/Libre/Mukt Software) and is available for download from our GitHub repository here - https://github.com/l2c2technologies/koha-plugin-askalibrarian There is a blogpost on it at http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2018/09/01/askalibrarian-koha-feedback-for… And an explainer video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_IJ2unkvbs With regards, Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 WWW : http://www.l2c2.co.in Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg

These technologies include advanced robotics and artificial intelligence; sophisticated sensors; cloud computing; the Internet of Things; data capture and analytics; digital fabrication (including 3D printing); software-as-a-service and other new marketing models; smartphones and other mobile devices; platforms that use algorithms to direct motor vehicles (including navigation tools, ride-sharing apps, delivery and ride services, and autonomous vehicles); and the embedding of all these elements in an interoperable global value chain, shared by many companies from many countries. As your company becomes active in Industry 4.0, you’ll find the benefits go far beyond extending your digital reach or selling new types of products and services. It will establish your company, your employees, and your entire ecosystem of suppliers, partners, distributors, and customers as a fully interconnected, integrated digital network, linked to other networks around the world.
