Dear Mam,
Here i found all the suggesetions are valuable and effective..I only want to add 'after sale serivice' or 'customer care service' of the product is the another vital element to choose a lib softwr..We all librarians are usualy busy with huge works and houskpg jobs..Its difficult for a librarian to manage the software reltd problems which may occur any time. that time. the vendor support is very essential...otherwise it creates a big problem for the librarian. in case of open source software, i think there r no vendor service available during those situation...I think, before going to purchase a lib software, you should think abt this thing also...
Suvo Bijoya to u and all lis freinds...
