KOHA
Koha is an integrated Library Management system based on a GPL-licensed web platform that seeks, through its different modules, to make the administration of an information unit (library, documentation center, etc.) more practical and agile. Likewise, the OPAC or catalog may be modified graphically, allowing the dissemination of information, services and activities (databases, repositories, 3D tour, etc.) that the entity may have.
Koha Includes the possibility of simple and advanced search through the OPAC, an acquisitions, circulation and loan module, management of serial publications and allows the preparation of statistics and reports on their use.
If you want to know how the system works, write to us at [email protected] and we will give you access to a demo system.
