Subject: Migrating from Winnebago/SPECTRUM - was: [Koha] KOHA Newbies

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.
Barbara Keef
