Integration of Koha and Greenstone to enable fulltext searching in Koha. Using Koha, an open source library automation software, 4 different collections are created: 1. Records from a big library (about 120,000 records) 2. Records from a medium size library (about 20,000 records) 3. A few multilingual records downloaded from the Net and 4. About 15 e-books downloaded from the Net, which do not violate copyright law. As Koha does not support fulltext indexing and searching, it is integrated with Greenstone Digital Library Software for full text searching. The fulltext documents are indexed both in Koha and Greenstone. For searching the fulltext documents a SRU request is passed from Koha to Greenstone. This is the first implementation of Greenstone-Koha integration implemented in 2009 January and a workshop was conducted in July 2009.
