[Koha-devel] [KOHA-Consort] Library course using Koha

[Irma Birchall]

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

Hello!

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.

Shirley
