[Koha] KOHA Newbies

[Barbara Keef]

Hi,

Our public library is in the early planning stages of migration to KOHA from 
Winnebago/SPECTRUM.

Can any of the public libraries on this list-serv offer "advice" as far as 
preparation for this migration?

Q: Do we need to close during a conversion?
Q: What is the average time for conversion as experienced by other
libraries?
Q: Are there any common problems we should look out for that other
libraries may have gone through during the conversion process?
Q. Is there any tweaking of our MARC records that would make the process 
smoother?

Thanks for any help.
