I find Sirsi an absolute nightmare to deal with, and their software is definitely inferior. It's a right pain in the you-know-what to use. I'm going to try to convince my supervisor to switch to open source in the new year! I found this very interesting and look forward to hearing the outcome.

We went from Horizon 7 to Evergreen Open Source after the Vaporware Horizon 8 failed to actually exist ... love the open source solutions! Can't say that a small evil part of me thinks that SD deserves this. And if anyone's going to stand up to them, it's QBPL! Amen Jim.

What if they'd decided that there wasn't a commercial ILS that fit their needs?? Think of where the open source movement would be now if all that time, and now all the money going towards a lawsuit could have been put towards one of the current open-source solutions. Sigh.
