NewGenLib (NGL) is an open source ILS that is relatively new to the Integrated Library System scene, but with its "life-long open source guarantee" and a guaranteed release every 45 days with new features and bug fixes, its growth is rapidly taking an impressive turn. Good news for people who still store their library's collection in spreadsheets or other old sytems, NGL is now offering a 32-hr program to adapt your old system to theirs completely free with no conditions whatsoever. All you'll need are: - a decent internet connection - a server computer that you can afford to stay on for 24/7 (because an internet OPAC service that is only available bet. 8am to 5pm is just sad). Of course if you just want an automated system and offer an OPAC only thru your local network during business hours, that's also okay. - (If you're using a spreadsheet) an organized and clean database file. This is important for a more successful automated importation of your data to the system. If possible, if you have knowledge of MARC tags, separate your data into individual columns per tag/subfield. Discuss your schema to the NGL Support team. - a little technical know-how. Installation is fairly easy as it either can be employed in Linux-based systems or Windows, whichever you're familiar with. If you doubt your own "IT savvy-ness", I'm sure this won't be too complicated for your regular IT guy. You can also personally email me for help. If you're interested, read the forwarded message below and learn more about NGL at http://www.verussolutions.biz/web/. You can also ask me about my experience with this ILS by personally emailing me at [email protected]. *Regards,* ------------------------------ Perseus Rex Molina College Librarian Kalayaan College 22 Manga Rd. cor.
