And Shirley, If you have your students compare functionality of the two systems (at a point in time), I'd love to see the results of their work. This sort of thing is just what we need at rscel.org and opensource.califa.org...two sites I'm using on open source library system projects. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested!

Shirley,
I can't tell you how excited this makes me! As a library student we never saw a real library system!! That's just insane in my opinion and I love that you're showing at least 2 to your students. You may also want to have your students pop into an IRC meeting and lurk to see how we share information and make decisions as a community. The schedule of these events is on the wiki: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:events:meetings:irc_meetings:start At each meeting we schedule the next one, so you'll only see 2 scheduled meetings right now.
Also if you're interested there is the Koha Newsletter http://koha.web2learning.net/ and the Koha Social Networks: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=kohasocialnetworks
Thanks a bunch, Nicole C. Engard Koha Documentation Manaager

Hello,
I'm new to this discussion list and thought I should introduce myself. My name is Shirley Lew and I'm teaching a course, Library Automation & Systems, at the School of Library, Archival & Information Studies (SLAIS) program at UBC this term - course web site is here http://blogs.ubc.ca/libr551/blog/. The course is using an instance of Koha for Class and we also have access to Evergreen for learning/teaching purposes. For the majority of students, this is the first opportunity for hands-on exploration of an open source ILS and they're looking forward to it!
The major course assignment this term involves evaluating and comparing some of the functionality between Koha and Evergreen. I will be encouraging students to subscribe to this listserv, both to observe the discussion and to ask questions as they get to know the system. The Koha community is clearly a very supportive and collegial one, so I thank everyone in advance for any help/support you can offer students who may ask questions.
