CIL 2009 - Open Source Library Implementations

Karen Kohn and Eric McCloy, Arcadia University

They have IT and library merged into one. IT and the library had different perceptions about:
- how big a hurdle it is to migrate data (library=huge; IT=not such a big deal)
- focus on database structure (IT) vs. focus on what reports we can get (library)
- ability to articulate problems - whose responsibility is it to figure out what's wrong?
- developers and librarians together in the room was very productive

2 Koha servers: test server for IT and library + implementation server
"Base Camp" -- PM software -- this is where they kept their priority list
