Invitation to "Customers of PTFS Europe" day in Leeds, 10th December 2013
We would like to invite all customers of PTFS Europe to a free “Customer Day” at the Queens Hotel in Leeds on Tuesday, 10th December 2013.
We have added the launch of a great new module called Rebus:list:it. It can pull items from external websites straight into Rebus:list with a single click. It works with discovery services such as Summon, library catalogues, Amazon, Google Books, Blackwell, Waterstones, journal providers, etc etc. If we get enough interest we would extend this functionality to being able to pull records straight into Koha in the same way.
The Queens, City Square, Leeds, LS1 1PJ – (for Sat Nav enter LS1 4DY)
