[Publib] Open source software

[MJ Goodrum]

I'm way out of my league here, but I'm on a committee that's putting
together a workshop on Opensource software such as Evergreen and Koha.
Does anyone out there Public Library Land have any experience (good
and/or bad) working with an opensource software company?  What made you
decide to go with them rather than another vendor such as Dynix,
Innovative, etc.?   How easy was it to migrate from your current system?
Did it cause problems/complications with your book, cataloging, and/or
processing vendors?  What are the costs involved?  Does it work with a
collection agency such as Unique management?

 

Anything you are willing to share with us is greatly appreciated!
