What is Koha Union Catalogue ?

The Koha Union Catalogue is a solution designed to unify multiple libraries under a single umbrella, allowing them to merge their collections and offer a better user experience. Powered by 2CQR, this solution is tailored to meet the needs of modern libraries, enabling collaboration, resource sharing, and improved services for users across various locations.

Koha Union Catalogue is simply a collective database that integrates records from multiple libraries into one comprehensive system. This unified platform allows libraries to share resources and provides users with a centralized point of access to search for and explore materials across participating libraries. By consolidating collections, the union catalogue eliminates duplicate records and ensures a more complete and accessible library experience for all users.
