[LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 226, Issue 4

[GANAGANUR MANJUNATH]

LIBSYS till 2018 had used their own proprietary backend.  We migrated from
LIBSYS to Koha  in the year 2018 and therefore do not know the present
status. Their Metadata schema was also a  closely guarded secret . Another
impediment,  they had de-activated downloading option of data in ISO 2709
format.  Intention was very clear. Being a commercial software, the
developers did not want to lose their customers.

As per my discussions with the  fellow professionals, Koha would be the
most preferred software in our country in future. Therefore,  we may have
more discussions on this topic and also conduct workshop with extensive
hands-on sessions.
Let us promote open source software.
Thanks
