Alaska Bush Library Service

To check out OPAC’s that are using Koha I went to Library Technology and found a website in which you can search for libraries based on the automation system that they use.  What a disappointment to find that Library Pro wasn’t among the list of programs that you can search for.  I could find libraries that use KOHA though and it was nice to look that the interfaces that are offered to the clients in those systems.  There are also a lot of useful articles about what is going on in the world of library automation.

I had an interesting interaction with a librarian who is visiting Alaska from Texas.  I commented on her blog asking why she chose to come to Alaska.  After several posts, it turns out she is here to visit a friend of mine.  I let her know she could tell her friend that I said hi.  It is interesting how we can use these resources to find out that we are connected in many different ways.
