Abstract
Since its conception, Koha has never been a traditional library system. After its release in 2000, when it became the first open source library system, one of the first installations of Koha was for cataloguing car manuals for a manufacturer in Detroit, USA. Koha has continued to push the boundaries on what a library system can do, what problems it can solve, and how different types of organisations can put it to use.
