Hassan II University of Casablanca

Hassan II University in Casablanca, Morocco, documented its migration from SirsiDynix Symphony to the open-source Koha system. Like many institutions leaving proprietary platforms, the library's motivations centred on escaping licensing costs and restrictive vendor control in favour of a system it could adapt locally. The published experience focuses on the mechanics of moving bibliographic data cleanly out of Symphony's proprietary structures and into Koha without loss — the recurring central challenge of every ILS migration. As one of the comparatively few North African accounts in the open-source library literature, it is a useful reference point for other Maghreb and Francophone African institutions weighing a similar move away from commercial library software.
