ByWater Solutions, an open source community supporter and the U.S.’ forefront provider of Koha support, is happy to welcome Danielle Elder as Migrations Specialist. Danielle will join our expert Koha migrations team in assisting new partners in the transition to the Koha open source ILS.

Before finishing her undergraduate degree, Danielle served in the United States Military where she worked with the Site Installation/Division Personnel System (SIPDERS) database as a Personnel Information Systems Management Specialist (PISM). Danielle received her Bachelor’s degree in General Studies and her Masters of Information Science from the University of North Texas.

Danielle commented on her recent decision to join ByWater Solutions:

“I am very happy to be a part of the ByWater Solution team. For me, working with the Koha ILS, is like working with the heart of the library. I have been a fan of open source software and the communities that develop these programs for many years and am thrilled to get to help libraries migrate their data to a dynamic and robust open source ILS like Koha.”

“I am excited that Danielle is joining us at ByWater. She brings to the table an in-depth knowledge of public libraries, a love of library technology and a strong customer focus – all of which are great assets for us as we continue to serve our library partners.” commented Joy Nelson, Director of Migrations.
