KOHA @ OSS (Open Source Integrate Library System)
In general, open source refers to any program whose source code is made available for use or modification as users or other developers see fit. Open source software is usually developed as a public collaboration and made freely available.

• The software being distributed must be redistributed to anyone else without any restriction.
• The source code must be made available (so that the receiving party will be able to improve or modify it).
• The license can require improved versions of the software to carry a different name or version from the original software.

Koha offers Libraries:

• Easy-to-use circulation policies, strong patron management, intuitive navigation, and extensive permissions for staff accounts.

• Parent-child relationship for patron records, as well as a 'copy' patron feature to quickly add families.

• A Clubs and Services feature that allows libraries to manage reading groups, book clubs, and other other community outreach programs. This feature is easily managed by library staff.

• Extensive support for holds, including an option to 'suspend' and 'reactivate' a hold, an option to place holds from a patron's OPAC account, an option to allow staff to re-organize the holds queue, and an option to place holds at either the title or item level.

• Enhanced matching policy rules for the 001 and 035 tags, allowing libraries to update older records with a newer version.

• Libraries to 'undo' entire import batches from the catalog in a single click, rather than having to delete on a one-by-one basis.

• SIP2 configuration for a wide variety of vendors and their products, including ITG, 3M, EnvisionWare, Talking Tech, Overdrive, TechLogic, and Librarica. LibLime Koha also works with EzProxy as a dual authentication source for remote database access.

• OPAC, staff, administrative features and self-checkout interfaces are all based on standards-compliant World Wide Web technologies--XHTML, CSS and Javascript--making LibLime Koha a completely Web-based solution.
