  • Using the Koha API with C#

    I’ve been tinkering with the Koha API to allow MarcEdit to do some direct ILS integration with Koha-based systems.  When I first agreed to look at doing this work, I wasn’t sure what the API looked like.  Fortunately for me, the folks that put it together made it simple and easy to work with.  There…
