ByWater Solutions, America's forefront provider of Open Source library technology support, announced that the Cortez Public Library in Colorado went live on Koha and Aspen Discovery through CLiC with support from ByWater Solutions.
Over 56,100 bibliographic records were migrated over.
Bob Bennhoff, AspenCat Services Manager at CLiC, recently commented on the migration:
Cortez Public Library has been really excited before, during, and now after the migration to have access to affordable, but powerful software like Koha and Aspen Discovery. Many of their patrons also use nearby libraries that have been using both for years and the Colorado Library Consortium is excited to partner with ByWater Solutions to provide the same experience for them at their home town library. So far, we've been hearing great feedback from the staff in the first week after migrating."
