FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 5, 2023
SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF KOHA ANNUAL SUPPORT AND HOSTING FOR
LIBRARY INTEGRATED OPERATING SYSTEM
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval of the renewal of the Integrated Library
System (ILS), Koha, annual support and hosting for the library integrated
operating system from Bywater Solutions for the Library.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund (Library) in an amount not to
exceed $18,360.
BACKGROUND: This renewal is for Koha support and hosting services for September 2023
through September 2024. 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 does not require special installations on staff
machines, making it easier to access in emergencies and less labor
intensive for our IT staff.
Library Director recommends approval.
