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.
