Cannot, have not, answered questions concerning outside support "company".) We are satisfied that open-source solutions (Koha) and our own in-house expertise meet our needs. (Type: Special)

Koha community is very helpful for the success of Koha. (Type: )

We are evaluating Vufind to integrate Koha with other software (Access To Memory: Atom), we are not thinking about replace the system or OPAC at all. (Type: Special)

Nuestro produto se introdujo por el personal de la Escuela, . (Type: School)

We're one of the Koha "go-it-alone" vendors, so we're not getting support from any vendor. Our ILS isn't a major part of our library's function--our circulation is maybe in the high two figures each month, and most of the literature searching/literature providing is from journals. Koha does everything we need, requires little attention, and is saving us thousands of dollars per year. (Type: Medical)

We believe in the ProQuest vision for Intota and are hoping that the merger with Ex Libris will result in faster development and cost-effective best-of-breed choices for us. Koha has been an effective interim solution and works just as well (if not better) than our Voyager instance, but we don't see it as a long-term solution given that most of our collection emphasis is on e-resources.

happy (Type: School)

We implemented Koha in-house and we are maintaining it by ourselves. That's why I am not able to respond about our satisfaction with the vendor. We are also contributing our Koha developments to the Koha community (Type: Academic)

Very happy with Koha and the community of users of this ILS. Best decision we have ever made in recent time! Really looking forward to the upcoming new version (3.22) with its new features! (Type: Special)

The library has been using ILS KOHA since October 2011. Koha was installed and configured by the library professionals and functioning perfectly. Circulation, acquisition, cataloguing of physical resources as well as electronic are being done by the ILS. (Type: Academic)

We don't have maintenance contract with any outside company. (Type: Government Agency)

At [...] , our library team has implemented Koha, Dspace, VuFind and Drupal. We are managing these systems by ourselves. We are not depending on any vendors. Our library team is maintaining and upgrading the all systems time to time. (Type: Academic)

We are already using an open source ILS which is Koha. (Type: Special)

We migrated from Winnebago this past year because the local school no longer supports it. (Type: Public)

El Koha es un SGB open source, el soporte lo brinda la comunidad que se conforma, generalmente por los mismos bibliotecarios que lo utilizan, informáticos, etc. (Type: Academic)

La biblioteca no tiene presupuesto para suscribirse a bases de datos de publicaciones periódicas ni a plataformas de ebooks, por tal razón el Koha cumple los requisitos necesarios para procesar el material impreso y lo que se encuentre en open access en la web, de interés para nuestros usuarios. De todos modos, estaría interesada en herramientas de descubrimiento de acceso abierto como VuFind para poder buscar desde un solo "box" también en grandes bases de datos de acceso abierto como doaj, scielo, etc. Las nuevas plataformas de servicios como Koali OLE, open source, puede ser una opción a futuro. La empresa que instaló el Koha en ALADI se llama SAbIT S.R.L. y se la contrató para dejar funcionando el sistema adaptado a nuestra realidad, pero no queda contratada en forma permanente para posteriores ajustes. El Departamento de Informática será quien lo mantenga próximamente (aunque no tienen mucha experiencia). También se han hecho consultas a las lista de la Comunidad Koha. En Uruguay somos los únicos, junto a la [...] (quien le hizo tantas adaptaciones, que ya no parece un koha ni se pueden adaptar a las nuevas actualizaciones. Por tal motivo, he comenzado a contactarme con bibliotecas de Argentina. (Type: )

Catálogo disponible de manera local. (Type: )

tenemos KOHA. estamos intentando que nos lo actualicen y que una empresa se haga cargo del mantenimiento. Actualmente no tenemos mantenimiento (eran los propios informaticos del ayuntamiento quien se encargaban) (Type: )

I believe KOHA has the ability to fulfill our needs, but our IT person is the one that has installed it and makes any changes with it and he doesn't know what to do to get it to work correctly. I can add items or delete items and it will be several months before they disappear or are searchable. Our IT person has to do a complete re-index to get the items to show up. He has tried things that have been on the KOHA list, but so far nothing has worked. Due to finances we have not contacted someone else for support. (Type: Academic)

We worked with a KOHA support vendor initially but found them ultimately unnecessary. Searching for answers & procedures within the user community was more productive and, of course, free of charge. This community is amazing in terms of both knowledge and generosity. Since updates are created/administrated by a committee of users, fixes are responsive to user needs and implemented quickly. This has been a tremendous change from vendors who promise annually with contract signing and fail to deliver. (Type: Public)

This survey doesn't have responses that cover open source or self-sufficient small libraries very well. (Type: Public)

We utilized ByWater for the migration of our ILS, but have been self-supporting for several years. We were very satisfied with ByWater's performance. We self-host our ILS. (Type: Academic)

Our ILS vendor is... myself (Type: Academic)
