Abstract
As the Library Management System (LMS) sits at the heart of the library, it is important that both staff (desktop interface) and users (OPAC) are happy with the LMS that is in place. In 2013 after a period of growing dissatisfaction with the LMS in use in the library of Dublin Business School, a decision was made to migrate to the open source LMS Koha. This presentation seeks to explain the rationale for the move and give some detail of what was involved during the migration.
