The URBS consortium, a network for the humanities comprised of 7 Rome-based libraries with a patrimony of c. 350,000 bibliographic records, 8,000 periodicals and 45,000 authority records, has migrated its Marc21 holdings from Millennium to KOHA with the aid of the Italian company "Cineca". Besides the standard keyword search features, this installation also uses a browse search function. As the contents of the consortium are multilingual and there was difficulty for KOHA to recognize the articles from the various languages, the second indicator of the 245 field was used to correctly alphabetize the title results. A Z39.50 protocol was also use in this KOHA installation to interrogate other libraries. Furthermore the URBS KOHA installation has a seamless interface with ESSE3, a portal used by Italian universities for data concerning their staff and students and their academic careers ; thus the KOHA libraries can manage lending, fines, etc., by dialoguing with the university's ESSE3. The URBS KOHA installation, now in the final testing phase, will go live in July. -- §§§§ Janet L.
