Blog

Day 3 of the koha-US Online Together conference (a.k.a. Bug-a-Palooza) starts Thursday, September 24th at 8:00 AM PDT / 11:00 AM ET / 3:00 PM UTC.

Today is a little different in that we’re all gathering together in a Zoom room to talk bugs, sandboxes, and all things Koha. If you registered for the event, you should already have the Zoom link.

The day begins with a sandbox demo by Lisette, then is loosely structured by topic based on our special interest groups. You can find the rundown for today here: http://koha-us.org/learn/conferences/onlinetogether2020#ot_day3

If you haven’t yet registered and would like access to the Zoom room, the form is still active here http://bit.ly/koha-us2020c_reg, though there will likely be a delay between when you register and when the link is sent.

Koha-US 2020 Conference Update

Blog

Koha-US has decided to move our annual conference online this fall.

Our plan had been to meet in September in McKinney Texas, but due to the ongoing pandemic, we have made the decision to move the conference online this year.
We polled members and a large majority indicated they would not be able to attend due to institutional limits on travel this year.
We are planning on holding our 2021 conference in McKinney next year.

We hope you will join us for Koha-US 2020 Online Together beginning on Tuesday September 22nd.
We are still working out the exact details of how long the conference will be, so look for more information on that with our tentative schedule next month.

Additionally we are asking interested people to make a short 5 minute video about where they are and what they’d like to share about their town and/or library since we will not be exploring anyone’s city during this conference.
We plan on running these on breaks and lunches during the conference. If you are interested in doing one, you can share it with conferences@koha-us.org via Google Drive or a Dropbox link.

Thank you for your time and please let me know if you have any questions about our upcoming online conference.

Lisette Scheer
Koha-US 2020 President
