Hi Jim,
Had to go the electronic archives since this was 2008!
But you should consider the following- we did a survey of the staff
asking what they liked and didn't like about our Spectrum/Winnebago ILS.
We formed a committee of supervisory staff and created a list of what we
wanted BEFORE look
I wonder if they were looking for consortial features, and if so, if
Evergreen might have been a better candidate than Koha (if either were
considered at all). I don't know if there is an Evergreen support vendor in

I recommend making sure your library hires a consultant who knows how to
navigate procurement waters in an OSS and a proprietary environment. ;)
Seriously, there are only a couple of us out there and hiring the wrong
consultant can kill your OSS options. I've seen it happen many times.

Greetings to all my Koha pals, esp. MJ and Paul!!!
As a library admin person I had put together the criteria for RFPs for
our ILS search. Of course I already knew about Koha and Evergreen, so I
