eIFL-FOSS ILS is a project of the eIFL-FOSS program supporting evaluation of and migration to free and open source (FOSS) integrated library systems (ILS). It is an opportunity for librarians in eIFL member countries to engage directly with the Koha or Evergreen development communities and to contribute to that ongoing development. In particular it is an opportunity for pilot institutions, in conjunction with the active participation of the eIFL-FOSS country coordinators, to identify and draft support documentation to aid themselves and other libraries that may wish to pursue this FOSS ILS path.

Call for Participation:

At this time we invite any eIFL.net library that is interested in participating in a pilot of either Koha or Evergreen to make themselves known to the eIFL-FOSS Program Manager, Randy Metcalfe randy.metcalfe[@]eifl.net , by no later than 28 February 2008. An initial meeting of pilot institutions will take place as soon after that date as is feasible. Please be sure to identify which ILS you are most interested in piloting. The full application details along with further details of what is involved in piloting are available here.
