Though it wasn’t shown on the night, it’s great to see Kete/Koha integration come to fruition.

A great way to help the user find what they are after whichever collection it is in.

Thanks Paul and congratulations on the Lyon roll out. Post has been updated with corrections and additional information about local sponsors.

Thanks Don – it really was a lovely event :)

One correction: we have calculated that it has saved HLT about $1m over the last decade not millions.

Cheers Jo.

Well, in fact, HLT is not exactly the 1st 3.2 library in the world : it was Lyon 3 university, in France, that is now live for one month. It’s a 3.2, with many improvements sponsored by them that will be in 3.4 (so should L3 be considered as the first 3.4 library in fact ? ;-) )

Thanks for this post, and congrats to HLT anyway: Koha would not have existed without them, and on this matter, they are the first forever !
