Hi
From my experience, the most dangerous myth is that all data in a library MIS is readable and has integrity.
The second myth is that all library systems are based on the same principles of data standards and that data is exportable.
The third is that you can ignore the first two and your library system supplier will be only to happy to offer a paid solution.
Kind regards
