Automation: a suggestion to new Institutes
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Dear All, My view is all the new Institutions/universities should adopt Open source solutions for libraries specially in the area of Automation, they may use Koha, Newgenlib, evergreen, etc. with the community support or just by inviting some experts for 2-3 days. After adopting it you may easily compare it with commercial ones like Libsys, VTLS, Soul etc. The most import thing is you will have full freedom to switch over to new software (commercial/OSS) without any difficulty but at the same time if you will adopt commercial you may be in big problem in switching over to open world as per latest trends. Please remember no commercial firm will easily allow you to migrate your data. So its my personal view is to go for OSS and compare it later on with commercial as per your requirements at the same time also keep contact with the Institutions who is using the various software. Thanking You. With regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library, NIT Rourkela, Mob:91+9455306495 91+6612462103 (O) email: vinod_librarian(a)rediffmail.com : mishravk79(a)gmail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
