<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, that’s the method I’ve always used. With Alma, they specifically said it is an academic library product and won’t work for public libraries. [This is a specialization I’ve never heard of before] So hybrid libraries like San Jose State
University’s have to have two desks with two different systems running.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#365F91">We have been in a local consortium with a public library district. We are all currently on open-source KOHA for our ILS. They
have told us they are moving to Sirsi/Dynix but want to maintain reciprocal borrowing between our libraries. Since we can’t afford the migration and maintenance costs, we can’t move. Has anyone had any experience with trying to accommodate reciprocal borrowing
when there is no shared ILS? I’m stumped. Their tech person seems to think he can make a patch or something simple, but I think he’s in over his head on this one. Thoughts?</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
