It is not an exhaustive list of everything you need to do. Please consider your own library practices and what other checks are necessary for your own libary and context.

Planning for go-live

  • 足夠的時間供館員試用,習慣新系統

  • If this is a migration, work with your previous company to extract data right before you go-live

  • Decide on URLs for your new Koha OPAC and staff interface and arrange for these to be cut-over if using existing system URLs, or created if they are new URLs

  • Make sure that if you’re hosting your own system you have a process in place to back-up your system data.
