FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 20, 2022
SUBJECT: RENEW THE KOHA ANNUAL SUPPORT AND HOSTING FOR THE
LIBRARY INTEGRATED OPERATING SYSTEM
RECOMMENDATION: Consider the renewal of the Koha Integrated Library System annual
support and hosting agreement from Bywater Solutions for the Grapevine
Library.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund (Library Department) in an
amount not to exceed $18,360.
BACKGROUND: This renewal purchase is for Koha support and hosting services for
September 2022 through September 2023. The Koha integrated library
operating system is the technological backbone of the library, tracking
acquisitions, catalog, circulation, payments, subscriptions, and online
public access. In addition, Koha is browser based and doesn't require
special installations on staff machines, making it easier to access in
emergencies and less labor intensive for our IT staff.
Staff recommends approval.
