About this gig

Need a reliable library system for your university, school or organization? I am a systems analyst with years of hands-on experience deploying and maintaining Koha (library catalogue / ILS) and DSpace (institutional repository) in production for university and public institution libraries.


What I can do for you:

  • Install Koha or DSpace on your Ubuntu server (standard or Docker)
  • Configure settings, users, circulation rules and submission workflows
  • Apply your logo, colours and a custom homepage
  • Migrate records from Excel/CSV, MARC or older versions
  • Set up SSL, email and automated backups
  • Train your staff and support you after launch

Why work with me: I manage live Koha and DSpace systems every day, so you get a stable setup built for real use, not just a demo. Clear communication and full handover documentation included.


Please message me before ordering with your server details and approximate number of records, so I can recommend the right package.

In the world of academic and public libraries, the software we use is just as important as the books we keep. For the last 6 years, I have dedicated my freelance practice to helping librarians, archivists, and curators master their digital infrastructure. I specialize in two of the most powerful open-source platforms in the heritage sector: Koha (for library management) and DSpace (for digital repositories). However, I believe that powerful software is useless if it isn't accessible. That is why my approach combines technical backend configuration with thoughtful UI/UX design.
