Software Evaluation Conlcusion

I decided to evaluate the Koha ILS. Here is the conclusion to my essay:

Koha’s features, cost, technical support, customization, and use by other libraries have been outlined. The amount of savings cannot be determined at this point without a thorough analysis of the cost of support and staff training. However, implementation of the Koha ILS would be facilitated by the experience of the systems staff in managing an open source operating system like Linux at the DPL. Furthermore, any savings can be used to improve and specialize service provided to DPL users. If customization and the possibility of savings are priorities for the DPL, then perhaps a switch to the Koha ILS is a viable consideration.
