Unlike off-the-shelf automation systems, Koha Diocese is tailored to the unique needs of a diocese media library.

Integrated and web-based, Koha Diocese is a complete and cost-effective solution for diocese libraries who want a friendly and intuitive web-based catalog. Koha's extensive self-service tools provide outstanding support for users seeking resources for their ministry work or education.

Flexible Online Reservations

Koha Diocese offers an enhanced and extremely flexible online reservation system. Your staff and patrons can...

Place reserves online
Specify if the reserved item is for pick-up or mail delivery
Book an item for a specific date and time (delayed reserves)
Belong to multiple 'institutions' or parishes and request reserves for all

Koha even streamlines the processing of direct mail items by printing a list of items that need to be mailed along with their destinations.

Borrower Histories

Provide more personalized service to your patrons with Koha's optional 'borrower history' feature. Use 'borrower history' to track a patron's history, as well as an institution's borrowing history. Patrons no longer need to rely on their memories to locate items they enjoyed in the past, and wish to enjoy again. Koha's 'borrower history' remembers those titles for them!

Readers' Advisory: Book Lists and Reviews

Koha Diocese empowers your users to educate and support one another. Patrons can add 'reviews' to items in your catalog. Reviews can be approved or deleted by staff, based on your organization's unique policies. Once approved, item reviews become a valuable resource for patrons.

Koha's 'Virtual Shelves' feature lets users create and share permanent Book Lists. Book lists can be 'public' or 'private' and can serve as a valuable readers' advisory tool. Best of all, the book lists are integrated directly with the public catalog for easy browsing.

Based on "Koha Classic"

Koha Diocese enhancements are based on the mature Koha Version 2.2 ("Koha Classic") code base in use in hundreds of libraries worldwide. So, to find out more about Koha Diocese Cataloging, Circulation, Public Catalog, and Administrative interfaces, take the Koha Classic Tour!
