Customizing the System (contd.)
PTFS
installed Koha on our server
applied minor OPAC changes
prepared data migration
gave us quotes for tailoring (negotiable)

We reevaluated the situation
LISA VI, Pune, India, 14-17 Feb 2010
Where do we go from here?
![Page 18: Lessons Learned...Uta Grothkopf & Christopher Erdmann library@eso.org Lessons Learned Implementing an Open Source Library System LISA VI, Pune, India, 14-17 Feb 2010 ILS: Unicorn (SirsiDynix)](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022041103/5f033acc7e708231d4082d7d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
...and came to the conclusion
LISA VI, Pune, India, 14-17 Feb 2010
that it would be best to put the system on hold for
a while.

Agreement
leave Koha system at ESO as-is
monitor PTFS/LibLime merger
pay special attention to GetIT module
revisit situation approx. September 2010
