North Bethesda, MD, December 20, 2013- LibLime, a division of PTFS, announces that the Philipsburg Jubilee Library, in Philipsburg, St. Maarten, has gone live on LibLime Koha 4.16.

Philipsburg Jubilee staff looks forward to taking advantage of the rich functionality in LibLime Koha 4.16, including foundational support for authority control, expanded SIP2 support for renewals, improved Solr stemming functionality, enhanced search attributes for patron records for easier staff access, and support for RDA 2013. As with all versions of LibLime Koha since 4.8, the entire application resides in the Plack environment for enhanced performance. Philipsburg intends to build a union catalog for the Dutch Caribbean libraries. The next library scheduled to join the catalog in February, 2014 will be the Queen Wilhelmina Library on Saba.

About the Philipsburg Jubilee Library
The Philipsburg Jubilee Library was founded on November 23, 1923, commemorating the year Queen Wilhelmina celebrated her silver jubilee. As the library grew in size during the 1960s and 1970s, plans were developed to re-locate the library to its present location, which is currently 20 times larger than its previous size. The new library opened its doors on April 2, 1984 and thereafter became the first library in the Netherland Antilles to be fully automated. In 1997, the Internet found its way into the library and just one year later, during its 75th jubilee, the library created its website.
