KohaFerence 2017

Koha free software conference

KohaFerence 2017 is the second meeting of users and people interested in the Koha Library Manager held in Spain and will be on November 23rd and 24th in Tabakalera (Donostia / San Sebastián), organised by Ubik, Tabakalera’s creation library.

An increasing number of projects and institutions have opted for this library management system, and it’s important to have a user community with which to share experiences, challenges and problems related to Koha.

For those people and institutions who want to know more about Koha or who are thinking of switching to it, the conference is an opportunity for learning and collaboration around the management system and to find out more about its tools.

The gathering has been structured around three key themes and will include the participation of national and international professionals:

• General talks on Koha to give an overview and present the status of this library manager and its international community.

• Streamlined and practical presentations on specific projects and experiences, analysing the various initiatives in Spain that work with Koha.

• Participative workshops for analysing the tool, setting out needs, identifying possible future projects and more.

KohaFerence 2017 will also be an opportunity to continue the conversations and reflections started at the first conference, and to meet new professionals working with this open-source software.
