Dear friend, for school library you may use E-granthalaya software developed by National Information Centre. This software is freely available by NIC and having Multilingual facility. It is also having multilingual sreen display facility so that you and your staff can convert its screen into your regional language. It follows all the standards of automation so that u may migrate to any commercial software in future.I think that, it is suitable for your school library. Katkar M.R.

Porting of data from MS Excel/MS Access
by muruli acharya 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

Dear Professionals, I request you to provide me with the information regarding the following doubts I have with the automation process of my library: 1. I am at the initial stage of my library automation process. As I have not obtained any library softwares as of now, may I create a bibliographic database in an MS Excel or MS Access? 2. In later stages will I be able to port the same data into any library software? To enable the system to make it happen, do I need any supporting softwares in addition? If yes, what are they? 3. If the database can be ported to the software, what are the main information I may need to capture in my excel worksheet like Author, Title etc...? Please flow your thoughts to help me with this issue. thanks and regards -- Muruli Librarian, Power System Training Institute (PSTI), National Power Training Institute (NPTI), Bangalore, India -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
