ByWater Solutions, an open source community supporter and the U.S.' forefront provider of Koha support, is happy to welcome Nick Clemens to ByWater's talented development team. Nick will join the ByWater team in assisting partners with and developing new features for their Koha Open Source ILS.
Nick received his M.L.I.S. from the Palmer School and his B.A. from NYU. He has served in many roles in libraries in Vermont, coordinating a four library system within a 59 library consortium and providing support to the consortium at large. At home he is surrounded by his ever growing collection of books, his family, and one too many cats.
Nick commented on his decision to join ByWater Solutions:
"Having been a ByWater partner for several years I am ecstatic to join the team and return the excellent enthusiastic service that I have received to other partners."
Nicole Engard, VP of Community Outreach, commented:
"In all my years of working with Koha I have never managed a more enthusiastic employee. Nick has hit the ground running and his knowledge of Koha from both the company and the partner side is a great asset to us all."
