Dear All

Greetings from the GIPE Library!

On occasion of Dr S R Ranganathan's Birth Anniversary, we are
organising a 'National level workshop on Library Automation using Koha
Open Source Software' from 09 – 11 Aug 2013.

Koha : It is the First Open-Source Web-based Integrated Library System
(ILS) with a SQL database backend that includes modules for
Circulation, Cataloging, Acquisitions, Serials, Patron (Member)
management, Library Branch relationships, and many more features. Koha
is built using international library standards and protocols that
ensure interoperability between Koha and other systems. It supports
technologies like cataloging data stored in MARC and accessible via
Z39.50 and also supports existing work-flows and tools. Koha has most
of the features that would be expected in an ILS,

Purpose of this workshop : To provide hands-on training to library
professionals by providing adequate practical knowledge which will
enable to automate the libraries on their own by using Koha. The
