I’m not the only one to join LibLime recently, I was lucky enough to meet Marc Roberson during my orientation week, and his excitement about LibLime and Koha is awesome!! This from LibLime:
Marc Roberson Joins LibLime As VP, Library Partners
…Marc welcomes the opportunity to help usher in the new era of library innovation and collaboration made possible through open source: “Who knows what libraries need better than the people who actually work in one?” he says. “Librarians have traditionally been told by software developers what they should want, how it should look and work and when they can get it. This traditional model served many well for a number of years, educating librarians on how systems operate and sometimes, to their frustration, keeping them from doing what they really wanted. Open source solutions give librarians the opportunity to implement ideas and solutions they want and share those ideas and solutions with others.”
[update] I love what Richard has to say about this news: “It is clear that Open Source library systems are definitely moving out from under the library geeks only image.” [/update]
