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.<br>

<div>Hey Shane -</div>
<div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder">
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I
have done a couple of installs of OpenBiblio (<a rel="nofollow"
href="http://obiblio.sourceforge.net">http://obiblio.<wbr>sourceforge.net<wbr></a>/)
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. </div>

<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>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.</div>
