For several years, INCOLSA, the Indiana Cooperative Library Services Authority, has run a shared integrated library system for about 30 libraries. This week they announced that they are migrating from SirsiDynix to Koha ZOOM, an open-source ILS. I’ve started a conversation with INCOLSA’s executive director about their decision and the benefits they expect to see because of it.

INCOLSA’s decision to go open-source and migrate from a commercial system only serves to emphasize the unsettledness of  the library automation marketplace right now. Big changes could be afoot.
