Case study – Koha

Koha implementation for IMAR – Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy

Koha modifications based on Koha 2.2.5 :

  • interface customizations
  • changes to the standard groups
  • small configurations such as rights based changes of the Intranet pages
  • changes to the virtual shelfs system
  • a plugin, to integrate the classification scheme used by the American Mathematical Society for papers on mathematical subjects. The plugin connects to the AMS website, identifies and saves the AMS classification code into a new biblioitem, based on ISBN.

We recently migrate the database and settings from the original version to Koha 3.0.4.
