Re: [LIS-Forum] Need a good library software

Hello Poornima Why don't u try Koha? Koha is Web-enabled fourth generation LMS and available as open source software under GPL. It supports all the core activities generally expected from a fourth generation LMS. Apart from the core tasks, it supports lot of other features like Z39.50 client, barcode generation, pre-defined and custom report formats, MARC 21 bibliographic and authority formats, pick-up list supports for entering Leader and control fields of MARC 21, Thesaurus support, barcoded circulation, photo-identification of members, ISBD, MARC and simple display format, Unicode support (must for a multilingual country like ours) and many more. You may go through this paper to know the extent of customization we've done with Koha https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/bitstream/1849/409/1/open+road_main_theme_psm_LDL... and downloading and other details see http://koha.org Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay Department of Library and Information Science University of Burdwan, Burdwan, Rajbati - 713104, WB

Hello Dear moderator!

Dear Professionals,
