Resign from your current ILS
I just read this post by Thomas Brevik and I have to say I have never thought of sending a resignation letter to a vendor 
But I love the image!!
Today I sent the resignation letter to our current ILS-vendor. The point of NO return has passed:-)
It promted another round of “OMG why am I doing this?” It is in many ways a leap of faith. We are the first library in Norway to switch to Koha, the translation is still not completely done and who knows what bugs and surprises we will get when we go live sometime in October. This would of course be true independent of the system we switch to, commercial or open source. The important thing for me, who initiatet the whole thing, is that with Koha we are looking forward, we will get more features than our current ILS can deliver or develop in the forseeable future, and we introduce the concept of open source into the norwegian library systems marketplace.
So this is my call to you to resign from your current ILS and give Open Source a shot!!

Was resignation a wrong word? Cancellation? We have a contract that I needed to end, and I thought the word resignation was right:-/ Oh, well, glad you like it:-)

When I think of a resignation letter I think of it going to an employer - but I LOVE thinking of it as a way to cancel a contract with a vendor
