Digital repository software for a corporate library
by Richa Srivastava 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Dear Moderator Kindly post this message to the LIS Forum. Dear Friends, Again a few questions. An architectural consultancy working at national/international level wants to develop an information system for itself and is stuck up with certain small issues, if anyone can help with: 1. Does anybody know any of the CORPORATE LIBRARIES which are using OSS for library management? 2. Can DSpace help us (librarians) manage issue & return of books too. 3. Is there any significant difference of space occupied by koha and Libsys and the records of documents therein on server. 4. Finally, if there is any librarian/data manager dealing with an architectural/museum/visual kind of works in India where lot great images/drawings/artifacts are being generated and catalogued every day, please let me know. Thanks and warm regards ऋचा Richa Srivastava -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
