> Hi All,
> As some of you may know, I offered a $300 scholarship for one Californian to
> attend the Koha Conference to be held in Madison, Wisconsin on May 2-3,
> 2011.  The person selected is Katie Aust, a Library Technician at the New
> Haven Unified School District.
> The District has been on Koha for only one year. Katie was hired in November
> and it is her job to maintain the Koha system.  Koha is used by 12 schools
> including 2 high schools, 2 middle schools, 7 elementary schools and an
> adult and student support center.  Most of these locations have libraries
> (aka media support centers) which are supported by  11 School Librarians
> (aka Media Support Specialists).  These 11 Media Support Specialists as well
> as the 13,014 students in the District rely on Katie and the Koha system.
> At the conference, Katie hopes to connect with other members of the Koha
> community, to learn ways to customize Koha to better address the needs of
> each school, to learn about customizing the OPAC tag clouds, reviews, book
> lists and recommendations, and to bring back SQL reports they can use to get
> useful statistics.
> Katie is also a library student and she reports that Koha users are not
> common in my classes and she is excited to bring her knowledge of Koha and
> open-source technologies to her fellow classmates.
> To those of you attending Koha, I hope you will give Katie a warm welcome to
> the community (I know you will).  Congratulations Katie, I'm delighted
> you'll be able to attend.
