Koha in the UK: Challenges, changes and celebrations for UK libraries
Year: 2026
Type: other
Abstract: As UK libraries are very seldom able to attend KohaCon, we would like to represent them in our presentation. We will give an overview of the library industry in the UK and discuss some of the pressures and priorities they face across the different sectors we support. We will share knowledge from our customer base and include details of how they are using Koha, what features or changes they love, and those they would like to see in future. Our presentation will build upon the challenges in the UK library space, what their goals are, and how Koha has been used to achieve them efficiently and provide value for money. We shall also use some examples of functionally developed specifically for the UK libraries and / or being used in slightly unique ways.
