Development of an E-Content Database with Remote Access Facility Using Koha: A Case Study
Author(s): Arup Dhara
Abstract - With the rapid growth of digital learning and remote education, academic libraries are increasingly required to provide access to electronic content beyond physical library premises. Open-source Integrated Library Management Systems (ILMS) play a crucial role in enabling this transition. Koha, being the world’s first open-source ILMS, offers flexible tools for managing, organizing, and delivering e-content securely to authenticated users. This article discusses the concept, need, architecture, and step-by-step implementation of an e-content database with remote login facility using Koha. The study highlights best practices, access control mechanisms, and advantages of adopting Koha for e-resource management in academic libraries.
Keywords - Koha, E-Content, Remote Access, OPAC, Open-Source Software, Academic Libraries.
