[sainul at iiitmk.ac.in]

Dear Professionals,

This has reference to Mr Mehjabeen Khan's mail regarding Free Library 
Software. Some information in related area is shown below.

1. WEBLIS
UNESCO has released WEBLIS, a Web based Library Integrated System based on 
CDS/ISIS. It has been distributed as free-ware. The system has been 
developed by the Institute for Computer and Information Engineering 
(ICIE), Poland. The current version of WEBLIS, available in English, 
consists of the following modules: 1. Cataloguing system (books, papers 
from book, papers from journals, journals, miscellaneous -slides, photos, 
audio, video, etc) 2. OPAC -on-line public access catalogue- (basic and 
advanced search, history, saving queries function, and ISIS Query language 
facilities, thesaurus based search) 3. LOAN module (hold/reserve, loan/ 
renew, automatic claiming by e-mail or a traditional mail in word form, 
urgent task lists) 4. Statistical module (the main goal of the program is 
to generate statistical data aggregated from the CDS/ISIS databases). The 
software and documentation can be downloaded at: Software:

2.OPENBIBLIO : Openbiblio is a small PHP /MYSQL based opensource Library 
automation package. It is good for small libraries. Installation is very 
simple and can setup within one hour. Has reasonably good OPAC, 
Circulation, Cataloguing and admin modules. But lacking in MARC support, 
Serial Control. Its good for very small library....
