May 2018 Newsletter

A message from Brendan Gallagher

We are very excited to announce the release of Koha 18.05 and we have begun the process of upgrading everyone to 17.11. If you were not able to attend any of the upgrade webinars you can view all of them on our YouTube channel or read the Q&A from the webinars on our website. An exciting piece of news that goes with our development process towards 18.11 is that our very own Nick Clemens will be the Release Manager! Nick has shown tremendous growth with his time involved with Koha (since 2011) and we are very excited to support Nick while he works towards the best Koha release so far.

Librarian of the Month

Each month, ByWater recognizes a librarian for their hard work and positive impact on the community. This month we honor Spencer Smith of the McKinney Public Library. Spencer has created a report that not only analyzes the collection, but also factors in how popular certain collections are in connection with the library's budget. Congratulations, Spencer! Do you work with someone how goes above and beyond at your library? Then nominate them today for our Librarian of the Month Award https://goo.gl/forms/Ih1wlxSVLlSb1S0V2
