Hello to all,

 

I would also be interested in the responses to these questions.

 

Thanks much.

Subject: [Publib] Open source software

 

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!
