Dear Professionals,
Can you help me to figure out the different sources
for availing the
Library Software, which works out economically -
though i have a few in
mind like -
Slim ++
Libsoft
Libsys
Easy Lib
Edupro etc.,
Can I have any contacts in Bangalore where the
authorised can provide us
with a demo. Ours is a IT company, which is newly
organised with 400 books
and few business and IT magazines.
Also dear professionals can you help me out how to
equip the library with
modern amenities for storage and retrieval in a
special library.
Dear Professionals - Can we come out with a new
profile - which is a
challenging for library professionals - without much
technical
qualification/knowledge but with couple of years of
experience, which is
different from the services, like CAS, Reference
service, SDI etc.
Any suggestions, please share with the undersigned.
Regards,
Susmitha Ramesh
Librarian.
