The Crawford County Federated Library System (CCFLS) is pleased to announces the installation of Koha Zoom Intergrated Library System (ILS) catalog and circulation program at system headquarters, Meadville Public Library (MPL).
What does Koha stand for? It means “gift” in the Maori language of New Zealand. Libraries from around the world have developed and shared this gift for the past seven years. Now CCFLS is using this gift, Koha, to manage the everything we do at the library. It keeps track of the library catalog, patron information, and the transaction data between patrons and the materials. The new system is all web based and is designed to incorporate library standards. Anyone with access to the Web can now search what books are available and their status, all in real time.
