Monday Minutes: Plugins in Koha

by Jessie Zairo on Feb 10, 2020

Koha’s Plugin System allows you to add additional tools and reports to Koha that are specific to your library. Plugins are installed by uploading KPZ ( Koha Plugin Zip ) packages. A KPZ file is just a zip file containing the perl files, template files, and any other files necessary to make the plugin work.

Plugin Resources

The Koha Community Wiki has a great page with resources to find various plugins that are available in the community. Different vendors and individuals have created plugins available for libraries to use.
