Hello Shirley! This indeed is very exciting news. Thank you for sharing and welcome to Koha. I too feel like Nicole Engard and most likely many other library professionals, that opening library automation & systems curriculum to incorporate open source is good for faculty and students, the various OSS projects and closest to my heart: libraries and their users. We shall assist your faculty and students when necessary and possible. We send you our very best wishes for the new academic program. Best regards, Irma .......

I've been lurking on this list for a few weeks and thought I should introduce myself. My name is Shirley Lew and I'm teaching a course, Library Automation & Systems, at the School of Library, Archival & Information Studies (SLAIS) program at UBC this term - course web site is here http://blogs.ubc.ca/libr551/blog/. The course is using an instance of Koha for Class and we also have access to Evergreen for learning/teaching purposes. For the majority of students, this is the first opportunity for hands-on exploration of an open source ILS and they're looking forward to it! The major course assignment this term involves evaluating and comparing some of the functionality between Koha and Evergreen. I will be encouraging students to subscribe to this listserv, both to observe the discussion and to ask questions as they get to know the system. The Koha community seems like a very supportive and collegial one, so I thank everyone in advance for any help/support you can offer students who may ask questions.
