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.

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.
