National Workshop on Koha
by Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay 30 Sep '07

30 Sep '07

Dear Colleague, As you know the Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) movement has created lot of enthusiasm and opportunities in the domain of library services. Open source software are available free of cost, support you to work at the system level and provide freedom to customize software as per the requirements of your library. Koha is possibly the most feature rich Library Management Software (LMS) from the open source domain. It is Web-centric, modular, multilingual, and compliant with almost all the bibliographic standards like ISO-2709, FRBR, Z 39.50, MARC 21/UNIMARC framework etc. Moreover, it supports storing, processing and retrieving of Indic script based documents. A commercial LMS with all these features may cost you anything in the range of Rupees two to five lakhs apart from recurring payments for updation, maintenance etc. Koha is free, supported by an international group of developers, and obviously has a tremendous application possibility in automation of college libraries and public libraries in India. Department of Library and Information Science, University of Burdwan has developed necessary skills and expertise in the application of Koha in Indian environment and already installed and configured Koha for a few college libraries in West Bengal. In response to wide-scale demand for training and consultancies in Koha, the department is going to organize five-day national level workshop on Koha during the period from December 03-07, 2007. This workshop will provide you software CDORM (containing Koha and all other companion open source software), a handbook on Koha (first of its kind in the world) and hands-on skills for installation, configuration and use of Koha in library automation. As the department is planning an intensive training schedule, total intake for the workshop will be limited to twenty only on the basis of first-cum-first. The workshop brochure and registration form can also be downloaded from the University homepage (http://www.buruniv.ac.in) or directly from http://www.buruniv.ac.in/Notices/UBUR_143_NOT_WEBPAGE.pdf. Hope to see you at the workshop. Thanks and regards, (Subal Chandra Biswas) Professor and Head, Department of Library and Information Science, The University of Burdwan, Burdwan - 713104 (Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay), Workshop Coordinator, Department of Library and Information Science, The University of Burdwan -- _______________________________________________ Search for products and services at: http://search.mail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
