I'm with you Gary. I think this is a great opportunity for the LIS students and hope that they are indeed learning about library systems. And it is great that Liblime is supporting the students this way. I just hope they aren't getting instruction in how to be a part of an open source community from Liblime too!<div>
<br></div><div>As I tweeted....I'd rather be the one doing the Open Source instruction for these students than Liblime!</div><div><br></div><div>Lori<br clear="all"><div><div><br></div><div>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I for one, as a member of the “real” Koha community, kind of like what is happening. I love the fact that Koha is being used to teach these kinds of skills to library school
students. On the other hand, I am dismayed by the way this is happening. Hopefully, students in these classes will figure this out. They don’t need a benefactor like this company to learn about open source, Koha, and how to make work. I wish there was something
the community could do, I just don’t know what right now. Anyone else experiencing mixed emotions on this particular topic? Would it not be wonderful to have interested library school students everywhere using community-based Koha?<u></u><u></u></span></p>

"LibLime Academic Koha to be used by University Students in Spring<br>
Semester 2012 [Dec. 8, 2011]<br>
<br>
Spring semester 2012, three schools are joining LibLime in the Koha<br>
with Class program. The three schools working with LibLime on this<br>
project include: The School of Library and Information Science at<br>
Indiana University; The Information School at the University of<br>
Washington Gallagher; and the Graduate School of Library and<br>
Information Science at Simmons College. Library school students at<br>
these three Universities – taking classes in library automation and<br>
technology systems -- will be studying the principles for design,<br>
selection, implementation and management of automated systems of all<br>
types in libraries. Each course will cover the use of ILSs for<br>
technical service processing, reference and user services, and<br>
management. Both courses will include presentations and demos from<br>
vendors and systems librarians and possible site visits to libraries<br>
using ILS systems in their day-to-day operations."<br>
<br>
Free hosting is a nice bonus, but still ...<br>
