Hi Mark, Welcome to the Koha community! Several libraries have migrated from Dynix Classic to Koha. Probably the most impressive one (and the closest to you) is the Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library (http://opac.smfpl.org) in Stow, Ohio, near Cleveland. Still a bit of a trip, but not too far. Nearby, also in Ohio, Barberton Public Library has contracted with LibLime to deploy Koha, and we're in the process of migrating their data (pretty much as I write this in fact :-) ). I'd encourage you to have a look at the Stow library's OPAC for a sense of what it will do for your users, and if you want to try the back-end, LibLime has some demos you're free to try out: http://liblime.com/demos If you're interested in support, the Koha website lists the commercial providers as well as free resources available: http://koha.org/support/ Let us know if you have any questions.

Folks -
My library had it's first meeting today of the committee that is going
to replace our ancient Dynix catalog system.
It looks like the major players in the committee, the director of the
library and my boss, the systems admin, might have already made up their minds as to which catalog vendor we are going with.
However, if I can show them that Koha could do what they want, I might
still have a chance to sway them in the proper direction.
Are there any libraries in the Southwestern Michigan area that are using Koha? if not SW Michigan, who is the closest the to Battle Creek/Kalamazoo area?
Thanks again -
Mark
