We are small site with very limited computer programming expertise. Any advice and suggestions would be most welcome. It looks from your website that you currently use Sirsi, there are various vendors on here who have migrated multiple sites from Sirsi to Evergreen, but ease of moving depends on how much customization you have done to your Sirsi install and how clean your data is. With us there was a lot of detail work to decide how we wanted the Sirsi categories to be mapped to Evergreen categories, but the actual data move went fairly well.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Site considering Ever Green
Depends on what you're using right now. Most ILS's have the ability to export your records. Importing into Evergreen isn't terribly difficult (says someone who had a computer geek to export our records). The problem usually is getting your records out of the old system.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] SIP User Profile
I have a library that has Bibliotecha self-checkout and when a patron uses the machine to renew a library card - non resident fee $20.00 - it goes into Misc (instead of Non-Resident fee like it would if they went to a desk where a human would click the drop down box). When it goes into Misc it seems to attach to another library (and I understand possibly why that happens). My question is - how do you know/see where the SIP user on that checkout station is picking it's information up from? Ie why is it not seeing or associating with the billing type Non-resident fee? Thanks in advance for your help. Rose M. Schooff Evergreen Virginia Project Manager Technology Consultant The Library of Virginia 800 E.
