Subject: [Koha] Migration from Heritage to Koha

Dear Koha mailing list members,

like anywhere else, from time to time, a success story is greatly welcomed.

In the case of our small library, until last month, we were using
Heritage[1], a Windows based proprietary ILS. We didn't like it, both
for technical reasons and functional reasons.

It took the combined efforts of the IT-guy (myself) and the librarian to
export the data and process it in a way that was importable in Koha.
After a few weeks, overcoming many small and big challenges, we are very
happy to introduce our new system to our users, and to this date, no
complain at all.

If you are interested in the result and the steps of the migration, you
can have a look at theses addresses:

Thanks a lot to the Koha community!

Kind regards,
Jef
