San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis Chooses ByWater Solutions’ Koha Support

ByWater Solutions, an open source community contributor and America’s forefront provider of Koha support, announced today that the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, of San Francisco, CA. is now live on their installation of the Koha integrated library system.

ByWater Solutions completed the migration of the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis in late 2013 and will be providing ongoing Koha Support and Hosting services. Their custom mobile-friendly OPAC can be viewed at http://library.sf-cp.org/.

Alyson Barrett-Ryan, Library Director at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, spoke of their choice to move to Koha:

“Transitioning from a proprietary to an open source catalog was a necessary step for the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis Library, and partnering with ByWater Solutions enabled us to experience a smooth migration we could not have accomplished on our own. Our patrons enjoy the new Koha interface and SFCP librarians value the responsive training and support offered by ByWater Solutions. Additionally, our librarians and administrators appreciate the economy, potential and flexibility of Koha. We are thrilled to partner with ByWater and participate in the open source community!”

About San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis:
The San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis was organized in 2007, combining the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute & Society, founded in 1941, with the San Francisco Foundation for Psychoanalysis, founded in 1991. The SFCP is a not for profit organization with more than 160 practicing analysts and more than 45 candidates (psychoanalysts in training).

The Center provides an extensive training program in psychoanalysis. The Center also sponsors a large, vibrant Extension Division which offers classes and seminars to mental health professionals as well as to the general public. In addition, it maintains low fee clinics for adults, children and adolescents as well as providing other mental health services and programs for the general community.
