[Koha] Switching from Other Library Software to Koha

[clint.deckard]

Olugbenga, Josef and Ben,

I had replied to Ben directly but probably should have included the list 
  as well.
I investigated migrating from AccessIt for a small rural school in NZ. 
AccessIt has no export functionality for MARC or CSV. It is possible to 
use the reporting tool to get some data as csv but it was not 
comprehensive enough. If you only want basic info this is a possibility 
but it was not easy/possible to get anything like full marc data this way.
The AccessIt company will export data as MARC for their customer, for a 
(not insubstantial) fee. In this instance the school could not afford 
the cost and had to stick with AccessIt.

Best wishes,
Clint Deckard.
