Atlanta, Ga., January 9, 2025: Equinox Open Library Initiative, a trusted leader in open source technology development and support for libraries, is pleased to announce the latest addition to the Koha community with the migration of Odessa College’s Learning Resource Center to Koha ILS with Equinox support.
“Odessa College successfully migrated to Koha ILS, an open source software, with Equinox,” said Robyn Millar, Community Engagement and Resources Librarian at Odessa College. “Equinox supports Odessa College’s mission to expand access to affordable higher education by offering an innovative and intuitive software solution that helps reduce operational costs. Koha enhances access to library resources by streamlining the Learning Resource Center’s catalog management and improving the user experience for students and faculty.”
