<br>
like anywhere else, from time to time, a success story is greatly welcomed.<br>
<br>
In the case of our small library, until last month, we were using<br>
Heritage[1], a Windows based proprietary ILS. We didn't like it, both<br>
for technical reasons and functional reasons.<br>
<br>
It took the combined efforts of the IT-guy (myself) and the librarian to<br>
export the data and process it in a way that was importable in Koha.<br>
After a few weeks, overcoming many small and big challenges, we are very<br>
happy to introduce our new system to our users, and to this date, no<br>
complain at all.<br>
<br>
If you are interested in the result and the steps of the migration, you<br>
can have a look at theses addresses:<br>
