Our school has been using OpenBiblio for over two years and it has
worked great for us. They completely redid their reporting system which
resulted in a loss of some of the reports they used to have but the new
reporting system makes generating new reports so easy it hasn't been an
issue. I did look at Koha but decided OpenBiblio was better suited to
our needs.

Hey Shane -
I have done a couple of installs of OpenBiblio
(http://obiblio.sourceforge.net <http://obiblio.sourceforge.net>/) for
small elementary school libraries that didn't have the $10K for the
commercial option and felt that Koha was too much for them. I would be
happy to answer any questions you have about the OpenBiblio install
process.
I also know that some of our (VT) smaller schools, with solid Internet
access, have outsourced their library automation for a monthly fee to
some company in California.
