Open Source ILS
One of the libraries where I volunteer is looking for a new OPAC to replace its current DOS ‘un, which is nearly as old as I am. Although our current system has been quite a workhorse, we’d like something nice and shiny enough to allow folks to search the catalog through our website. (And to let us print spine labels using something other than a dot-matrix printer.)
Someone suggested Readerware but I’m curious about the open-source ILS options out there. Namely Koha or Evergreen or maybe even Librarything. Does anyone have any experience with any of these, or recommendations of other systems to look at?
