Hi dear KOHA community,

We would like to say a few words about the great KOHA migration project that is going on in Turkey lately.

This project initiated by "Republic of Turkey Ministry of Culture and Tourism" and "Near East University". The project itself aims to migrate all the Public Libraries that are operating under authority of Ministry of Culture and Tourism. And this makes up to total 1112 branches, with more than 800.000 users total and approx. 8.000.000 bibliographic records currently. Also it's anticipated that this movement will bring great attraction from other libraries located around the country and also from some other organisations as well.

As Near East University, Innovation and IT Center we are dealing with the technical aspects of the project. Also I would like to point out that Near East University Grand Library has been actively using a modified version of KOHA since 2005 and made some software contributions to KOHA project from time to time.

We are happy to announce this to the community.

Regards.

-- Mustafa Arici Software Developer Innovation and IT Center - Near East University
