Some myths
Open Source is not sustainableKoha is supported by 10+ organizations all around the world, including some ministries (Argentina, Turkey), and for profit companies
Open Source is not reliableWith more than 10000 libraries including ALL public libraries in Argentina, all public libraries in Turkey, 10+ universities in France, not reliable, really ?
Some myths
Open Source is free (cost nothing)Not really. The software is available for free. But setting it, maintaining it, developing it, require an effort. That can be either money (support company) or time (internal IT staff)
Open Source need IT proficiencyNot more, not less than a proprietary software
BUT you have the choice to do it yourself or ask a support company
