Hello, group. My system is currently evaluating both Koha and Evergreen as our open source alternatives. We are installing both on computers here in our library in order to test them out, visiting other libraries, reading this list as well as the one for Evergreen, and speaking to other librarians using one of these systems.<br>
<br>It occurred to me that it might useful to know why other library system chose one system over the other.<br><br>So, why did you choose Koha over Evergreen, and are you happy with your choice? Was it a difficult decision?<br>
<br>I have to say that I'm presently more impressed with Koha, but haven't taken quite as close a look at Evergreen. I'm also very impressed with the knowledge and helpfulness of this community, a huge selling point for me personally.<br>
<br>You may write to me off-list if you are more comfortable with that. <br><br>Thanks in advance,<br>--Jim Maroon<br><br>storypage at <a href="http://gmail.com">gmail.com</a><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><table height="52" width="567" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
