Dear Joshi Ji, I had been covered this area in one of published article. May be this can help you.Selection of library software for the Library AutomationIf a library wants to make a beginning; CDS/ISIS is best suited as it involves minimum investment on both hardware and software. Once a database with bibliographic details is developed, the same data can be used forcirculation activities. Here the selection of software becomes crucial because CDS/ISIS can efficiently handle only the cataloguing system.Following criteria might help the librarians to select the right software for other housekeeping operations.Who are the developers, whether an institution, or reputed company or few individuals. The preference is for institution and second preference is for the reputed company. One has to be skeptical about the software developed by individuals as there will be no continuity.1. How many times the software has been revised since the time of its first launch.2. How many parameters are available for each module? More the parameters better will be the flexibility and needs no or minimum customization.3. Whether the software has facility to import and export bibliographic data.4. Training and guidance after installation.5. Whether available on major operating systems.6. Whether it is web interfacial.7. Whether it can be interfaced with the email system of the campus network.8. Whether it has taken care of Y2K compliant.Library automation and networking software in IndiaIn India many software packages are available for these activities and many libraries have automated their various functions. Some of these are integrated packages covering many functions while others concentrate on specificfunctions including cataloguing and management of information. There are many automation software in India such as: Alice for Windows, LibSys, SOUL, Granthalaya, CDS/ISIS, PALMS (Prashad Automated Library Management System), WILISYS (WIpro Library Information SYStem), Suchika, Troondon, Sanjay and many more.Thankspvz
