Descriptive statistics by using SPSS analysis tool shows that the use of KOHA at the school resource centre has resulted in positive feedback from the users. The respondents perceived themselves moderately high for all statements on reliability, personalized search, information security, flexibility, functional benefit and benefit in supporting teaching and learning process. The installation of KOHA is part of an outreach program for the community, by Asia e University Knowledge Centre.
