Koha Trademark Fund - A request for support and donations
by Indranil Das Gupta 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Dear all, Forwarding this request from Joann Ransom, Head of Libraries, Horowhenua Library Trust, New Zealand - the birthplace of Koha. If you are a Koha user or feel passionate about FOSS in the library, this is the time to support them, and in turn support *us*. thanks and regards -indranil das gupta ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joann Ransom <jransom(a)library.org.nz> Date: 2011/11/22 Subject: [Koha-devel] Plea for help from Horowhenua Library Trust re: Koha To: koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org, koha <koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz>, web4lib(a)webjunction.org As I am sure most of you are aware, Horowhenua Library Trust is the birth place of Koha and the longest serving member of the Koha community. Back in 1999 when we were working on Koha, the idea that 12 years later we would be having to write an email like this never crossed our minds. It is with tremendous sadness that we must write this plea for help to you, the other members of the Koha community. The situation we find ourselves in, is that after over a year of battling against it, PTFS/Liblime have managed to have their application for a Trademark on Koha in New Zealand accepted. We now have 3 months to object, but to do so involves lawyers and money. We are a small semi rural Library in New Zealand and have no cash spare in our operational budget to afford this, but we do feel it is something we must fight. For the library that invented Koha to now have to have a legal battle to prevent a US company trademarking the word in NZ seems bizarre, but it is at this point that we find ourselves. So, we ask you, the users and developers of Koha, from the birth place of Koha, please if you can help in anyway, let us know.

We are using this resource for the last one year and found it very useful. This online daily news service for 11-18 year olds provide three stories a day, linking the news with the full curriculum and these stories come complete with discussion points and class activities, and are perfect for assemblies, Citizenship, formative assessments, class projects and assignments, commentaries in various subjects, general awareness programmes (GAP), extended essays and theory of knowledge topics or as topical introductions to any subject. It's popular with teachers because it helps to save them time and engage their students. "This is an international service created in the UK with a mission <http://www.theday.co.uk/info/our-mission> to raise the aspirations and abilities of students and prepare them for the wider world. Launched by a group of professional journalists formerly of The Financial Times, "The Day <http://www.theday.co.uk/> " already deliver to more than 1800 schools in the UK and in 15 other countries including international schools in India such as "The International School Bangalore" (TISB).

Koha - 2011 Annual Library Automation Perceptions survey
by Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Dear All Requesting to act as per the following mail to join a global survey on Koha Thanks and regards, ---------------------------------------------------- Dr. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay Assistant Professor (Sr. Scale) Department of Library and Information Science The University of Burdwan (WB) ------------------------------------------ To all libraries using Koha: As Joann mentioned, I am collecting data for the 2011 Annual Library Automation Perceptions survey. This survey aims to provide some general measurement of the levels of satisfaction that libraries have with their library automation systems and the organizations that support them. I am aware that many libraries using Koha do so independently without direct involvement of a support firm. Even in these cases, data regarding the perceived quality and functionality of the automation system would be very helpful. The survey also probes at the relative level of interest in open source automation systems. I do hope that all libraries using Koha will respond to the survey. The survey forms are linked to each library’s entry in the lib-web-cats directory, so you will need to submit an entry if your library is not already represented. A large number of libraries using Koha are already represented, but I’m sure that there are many still missing. See: [http://www.librarytechnology.org/libraries.pl?ILS=Koha] [http://www.librarytechnology.org/map.pl?ILS=Koha] A strong response will help document the worldwide impact of Koha. To participate in the survey, you can start with the instructions given on the current posting on the top page of Library Technology Guides: [http://www.librarytechnology.org/] Marshall Breeding -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
