mailing list has moved (no change for you)
by Paul Poulain 18 Mar '26

18 Mar '26

Hello all, If this email reaches the 1020 list subscribers, it means that we (Simon Blake and I) have finished moving the list to a new server. Instead of being hosted by a dedicated server, it's now on mailinglists.net. History has been migrated as well. Nothing has changed for you, it's just a technical move. Enjoy your day or night, depending on your timezone ! -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / CEO BibLibre, Services et logiciels libres pour votre bibliothèque BibLibre, Open Source software and services for your library

KohaCon27 will be hosted in Istanbul, Türkiye!
by Paul Derscheid 17 Mar '26

17 Mar '26

Hello dear Koha community, I am pleased to announce that KohaCon27 will be held in Istanbul, Türkiye, hosted by the Republic of Türkiye – Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Directorate General for Libraries and Publications, at Rami Library. The bidding period closed on 15 March 2026 with one proposal submitted. As the sole eligible bid, no vote was required. Türkiye is one of the most significant Koha countries in the world. Over 1300 public libraries operate Koha as part of a centrally managed national infrastructure. The community there has long been a quiet but substantial force in the ecosystem, and it is wonderful to see that translate into hosting the global conference. Thank you to the team at the Directorate General for Libraries and Publications for putting together a strong proposal and for taking on the considerable work of organizing KohaCon. Further updates will come directly from them as planning gets underway. More details, including the proposal website, can be found at: https://kohacon27.ktb.gov.tr/ I hope to see many of you in Istanbul in 2027! Warm regards, Paul Derscheid

The Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Videos | 612
by BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER 13 Mar '26

13 Mar '26

Koha is a fantastic ILS. We love it! Many of us that have made the move to Koha from another ILS would probably say we would never look back. But even the best systems have issues. Usually it can be chalked up to new features going through the gauntlet of frontline use and being tried out in real world situations. As much as developers try, they can't always account for every single variable, especially when they are developing in an isolated environment. It is up to those of us on the business end of things to give feedback to those developers. Sometimes we give feedback to let them know what an awesome job they are doing, and how we love the changes. And sometimes it is to let them know that things aren't quite right. Today we talk about a cataloging permission that isn't quite right. It works. It does the job. I (Christopher) was excited that the permission existed. It does exactly what I need it to do. Could the implementation be better? Possibly. Join with us today in this episode and judge for yourself. Constructive feedback is always welcome. https://youtu.be/AWMXBk2QG2Y Sincerely, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin
