AlayKum Assalam Jesse. Thank you for your email.
You are correct. We have implemented Arabic Koha 3.18 here (
http://maktabat.mu.edu.sa/) at Majmaa University, which is about 150km
north of Riyadh.
My company, KnowledgeWare Technologies, is in charge of tthe ranslating
task of Koha releases to Arabic. Here is a demo site of Arabic Koha
integrated with EBSCO EDS: http://arkoha.maktabat-online.net/ .
We have also localized VuFind 2.5 to Arabic, which is a very powerful a
discovery portal that provides metasearch or federated search to all sorts
of data sources, including Koha ILS, DSpace IR, EDS/Summon eJournals as is
demonstrated here: VuFind: http://arkoha.maktabat-online.net/vufind2/
I too did not make it to KohaCon15 this year in Nigeria. I was just
responding to Mr. Brooke's nice email missing to see someone attending the
conference from the Middle East, which is unfortunate for us.
Thanks,
Massoud M. AlShareef,
Correct. This is Koha OPAC at Majamaa University
