Pioneer brings together small and mid-sized Nebraska libraries to collaborate on a shared integrated library system using Koha and the Aspen Discovery Service.
In this session, learn how consortium membership provides cost-effective technology, shared catalog records, customizable discovery webpages, and a supportive network of fellow libraries. We will also highlight the migration experience of Columbus Public Library, which joined Pioneer in fall 2025, including practical insights from their transition.
Presenters: Allison Reisig, Library Services Director, Western Nebraska Community College; Jeri Hopkins, Director, Columbus (NE) Public Library.
