Straight from the Koha files: Migration Migraine

Had a migration meeting on Friday and learned that the timeline has been bumped up by two months! Over Memorial Day Weekend, all holds between our NExpress libraries and the rest of the consortium will be shut off. Questions were brought up about "orphaned" holds and what kind of message a patron will get if/when they try to put a hold on some newly forbidden fruit-like item.

Top 10 list of why my patrons will love Koha

Whenever I introduce some new program, service, collection, or web site feature, I have a small worry that it will backfire. If I were in a large system, I'd do surveys and interviews and find out before I launched that it would be well received. Well, I'm not in a big system, so I just do it.

From Sirsi to Koha...

Welcome, Sharon!
(Oh, and I was the one who added the photo of Sharon to her post. I couldn't help myself!) :)
