Open Source ILS


As part of a report that I am developing on library automation systems, I am interested in knowing more about the current state of Koha and other Open Source projects. I need to document the number of libraries that use an Open Source ILS in their production environment. If you currently use an Open Source ILS or plan to do so in the near future in your library, please let me know. When I have made such inquires in the past I received very few responses. In order to make a realistic assessment of Open Source in this area, it is important that I hear from you.
