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.

Dear Friends, An interesting stuff appeared in the Hindu News Paper : Sounds oxymoronic, but it has happened. Texas has announced the opening of the world's first "bookless library". Under project BiblioTech, the Bexar County-Texas public digital library will issue 100 e-readers on loan, let you browse, read and study on dozens of PCs. If you don't want to stir out in the Texas summer, you can access some 10,000 digital titles from home. In a county that has neither a bookstore nor a public library, digital books will reach 1.7m people.
