Hello,
Our School District is interested in at least taking a look at KOHA, but we can't seem to find a pay vendor that would support it. I called liblime.com today and was unceremoniously told that we are "too small" a School District for them to support. Now we have 2700 students and 4 -15,000 Circulation Libraries and are looking to possibly switch from "Follett" Winnebago to another platform.
Just to clarify, it was me you spoke with, and I don't recall saying that you were 'too small'; but rather, that I wasn't sure you could afford our services. I gave you our standard rates, it's up to you to decide if you can afford them; our business must be sustainable for the sake of our employees, customers and the Koha community; we work very hard and many of our staff spend many waking hours volunteering on this project as I'm sure many on this list will attest to. If you're interested in a list of alternative support resources for Koha, you can find such a list here: http://koha.org/support/pay.html Of course, you can also download and install Koha for yourself, or have a local consultant help you. Hope that's helpful.
