Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between Koha and SOUL for my institution?
The choice depends on your needs. **Koha** is best if you require maximum customization, control over the source code, and prefer an open-source model. **SOUL** is a good choice if you require a robust, integrated system designed for the Indian university ecosystem, often favored for its localized compliance and reporting features.
