The King's Fund Information and Library Service migrated from its proprietary library management system SirsiDynix Unicorn to the open source system Koha in January 2010. The migration was a natural choice given the library's philosophy of adopting open source solutions. It was completed with no downtime and involved splitting local fields and mapping data. The implementation of Koha has provided opportunities to further develop applications and embrace the open source community.
