  1. This forum has finally created a platform to exchange ideas and proffer solutions to challenges. We say kudos to the efforts of the administrators. The members should find comfort in this online medium to solve problems and share ideas.

  2. The administrator should intimate members of this forum the new features of Koha that were discussed at the recently concluded seminar.

  3. Are there ways of using the social media networks like facebook, twitter, myspace to complement the services we render in our libraries with KOHA software? / Can we put the social media icons on the KOHA homepage? Thanks

  5. I recently attended a workshop on application of social media platforms to library services. I discovered that these platforms are designed in such ways that they could interact with one another. I think we should look at the ways these platforms especially facebook and twitter could be integrated into KOHA to enhance services in our libraries. With social media platforms it will be very easy to draw the attention of our users to OPAC. Many of our users are already on the facebook.
