In a major automation project carried out by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, public libraries in Turkey have been automated using Koha. This major project includes a total of 1,112 library branches that operate under the jurisdiction of the Ministry, with a combined collections represented by 8 million bibliographic records. It does not include public libraries with other organizational affiliations, though success of this project is expected to strengthen interest in Koha in the country.
The Innovation and Information Technology Center of Near East University in Nicosia, which has been using Koha since 2005, provided technical support for the project.
