Editor's Notes
- #6: Introduction to the work at SUL. Two major processes: Information supply & Publishing support.
- #7: Simplified overview of Informations supply.
- #8: A key strategic decision. Move from working with own search interfaces to focus on delivery. One important result: seperating of flows for print and electronic. Example: our Discovery system does not have printed materials (catalogue). [Rick James]
- #9: Koha introduction. Open source ILS originally created in New Zealand. Code base in Perl. Our old ILS was getting old, and won’t be developed further – need for a new system. Spent a year researching and testing (test migration with BibLibre). Important: we were only looking for a circulation system/module, not complete ILS (connection to earlier strategic decision).
- #10: Decision to use Koha in December 2014. One year process of implementing. Goal to go live at the end of the year. Discuss current project areas.
- #11: Project to big to be handled by only the project team: working groups established. All groups have member from the project group, who are responsible for their activity and providing the project team with information/feedback from the groups. Goals: more focus on one aspect of the process, and getting the staff involved. Very important! Also, not shown in the image, there are reference groups working on things like loan policy etc.
- #12: We will be working with the Koha community: no forking! All development should be in the community Koha or not at all.
