Dalian Maple Leaf International School chooses ByWater Solutions’ Koha Support

ByWater Solutions, an open source community contributor and America’s forefront provider of Koha support, announced today that the Dalian Maple Leaf International School Libraries in Jinzhou District, Dalian, China are now live on their installation of the Koha integrated library system.

ByWater Solutions completed the migration for Dalian Maple Leaf International School Libraries in May of this year and will be providing ongoing Koha support for the students and faculty.

Hager Braham, Librarian at the Dalian Maple Leaf International School Libraries:

“I think one of the greatest things that has happened in Dalian Maple Leaf International School Libraries’ history is moving to Koha with ByWater Solutions’ support. We have been live with Koha for three months and so far the BC-Libraries and the Chinese Libraries staff are thrilled by the outstanding support and all the improvements brought by Koha to our libraries and to our community. Because of the quality of support that never failed us and even surpassed our expectations from the start, because of the competitive price and because of the expendable and dynamic community, we are planning to expand our experience over the rest of Maple Leaf Educational Systems Libraries in China. Efficiency and flexibility are the motto of ByWater Solutions team.”
