Alert Regarding: Free KOHA OPAC Mobile App
by vinod mishra 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Dear All, The message below has been floated for those who are using Koha and very enthusiastic professionals who are willing to showcase as much as possible with minimum efforts. The Mobile App is not meant for your/any library by default and to get the app your library must be on some public domain name and lot of other information you need to provide through the app than the concerns will send you the app. My view is please avoid such things in the age where people are much concern about data security. My questions from the developers and you all are: 1. What if the domain name of any Koha/OPAC will change? 2. What if the database schema of koha updated? 3. What is the update policy of the said App? 4. Where is the source code to modify/improve the app by the community like Koha? 5. To whom should we contact if face any problem in the app? 6. How to use the app if many are managing the koha on Intranet only? 7. How much space etc. it consumes on the mobile and which version of android is supported. 8. Which version of Koha does it support? Sorry for my little understanding of the below Koha App but please clarify the points above. With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

(apologies for cross-posting) I’m pleased to announce that MIT Libraries will be offering CopyrightX: Libraries in 2019. Please share this information with anyone who may be interested: What is CopyrightX: Libraries? · CopyrightX: Libraries is an affiliate course of CopyrightX which is hosted by the MIT Libraries, and is open to library, archives, and museum staff everywhere. Participants will learn the essentials of US copyright law, theory, and practice with an emphasis on issues relevant to cultural institutions, alongside a cohort of professional colleagues. It is an entirely online 12-week course comprising pre-recorded lectures, readings, and weekly seminars. What sort of time commitment should I expect? · The class runs for 12 weeks from February through early May. Each week, participants will watch an 80-minute recorded lecture, read the assigned material, and attend a 90-minute synchronous discussion section conducted via audio and text chat. The average total time commitment over the 12 week course is ~ 5 hours/week. After the 12 week course there is an intensive law-school style exam, which takes the average student ~10 hours over a four-day period. To obtain a certificate of completion, participants must both pass the exam and attend at least 10 of the 12 weekly discussion sections.
