Using FOSS to add "Ask the Librarian" chat support to your Koha OPAC
by Indranil Das Gupta 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

Dear all, At the recently concluded National Koha Conclave (Feb 17 - 18, 2016), one of the "Koha Wishlist" items discussed was that of adding a chat facility to Koha. Chris Cormack, the original developer of Koha had replied that the Free Software i.e. Mibew (pronounced as: My-beau) messenger may be used to add the chat capability to the OPAC. Last weekend, I decided to try out Mibew and implement this. I'm happy to report that it has worked out very nicely. I've blogged about how you can add it on your server here - http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/04/11/mibew/. Sharing this so that more people may find the information useful. Also if anyone wants to test how it works, without installing Mibew, contact me off-list, I will be happy to help. regards, -idg -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
