Not that off topic, the Philippines are a massive user of Koha. All the public libraries as well as the National library use Koha. So I am sure there are quite a few on the list. Chris On 13/11/2013 4:56 AM, "Fred King" <kohauser@phred.us> wrote:

Greetings from the Philippines! @ Mr. Fred King, thank you for sharing the info about NLM's Emergency Access Initiative; very helpful, greatly appreciated. @ Mr. Chris Cormack, very true. The National Library of the Philippines and almost all the public library system in the country uses Koha; not only that, some private and public academic libraries and a few special libraries use Koha too. Koha is becoming popular ILMS of choice here not only because it is FOSS, but primarily because it is efficient, reliable and stable, and has strong and friendly user community. Thank you all very much. On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 12:28 AM, Chris Cormack <chris@bigballofwax.co.nz>wrote:

Thanks Fred for the heads up and information, I've posted already what you've posted in medical librarian groups here in the Philippines. And yes our National Library uses Koha ILS, as well as our institution, which is the counterpart of Library of Congress in U.S. And I agree with Ms. Alice on the gaining popularity of Koha ILS, with seminars, workshops, consultancy being held/organized in various parts of the country. Kindest regards. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/OT-Resources-for-the-Philippines-tp5777985... Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
