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: http://www.unesco.org/isis/files/weblis.zip Documentation: http://www.unesco.org/isis/files/weblisdoc.zip 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.... http://obiblio.sourceforge.net With Best Regards Sainul Abideen P Librarian IIITM-Kerala Trivandrum On Fri, 19 Aug 2005, meh jab wrote:
