- Working paper about the implementation of Koha at the Biblioteca del Departamento de Física, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina. This project was subsidized by Foundation Antorchas and the Instituto de Física La Plata (IFLP-CONICET), Argentina. Koha is an open source software. “In open source software, software developers give away the fruits of their labour in the hopes that others will help them develop the software.” It is open source software released under the General Public License (GPL), and is distributed under this license. “The gist of the license is that you are free to use, modify and distribute the program at no cost to yourself, provided that modifications you distribute are also released under the GPL... Koha is the world's first open source intergrated library system. Koha is feature-rich but the core features are, and always will be: a library catalogue front end/OPAC; a library system intranet; a circulation tracking system, and, an acquisitions/budgeting system.” Koha is web-based ILS, with a MySQL database backend with cataloguing data stored in Marc21 and accessible via Z39.50 protocol. The original cataloguing user interface was changed for IsisMarc (Unesco). The user interface is very configurable and adaptable and has been translated into many languages. “Koha has most of the features that would be expected for librarians and members (patrons) are: various web 2.0 facilities like tagging and RSS feeds; union catalog facility; customizable search circulation and borrower management; full acquisitions system including budgets and pricing information (including supplier and currency conversion); simple acquisitions system for the smaller library;ability to cope with any number of branches, patrons, patron categories, item categories, items, currencies and other data; serials system for magazines or newspapers; reading lists for members. This article is based on a paper that was presented at 3a Jornada sobre la Biblioteca Digital Universitaria: "¿Hacia dónde vamos?: avances y desarrollos recientes", Villa María, Córdoba, Argentina, 27-28 october, 2005, at Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina.
