There is also Evergreen and Koha, both free library catalog software. I don't know about the quality/availability of Hebrew language input, though.

It should be a helpful tool for both collection development and cataloging.

It costs a staggering $25 for a lifetime membership and it is otherwise free. It is a very full-featured library catalog program?I highly recommend it.

An administrative assistant will handle the details once I have gotten them up and running.

The TinyCat feature is more like a library data-base and more library friendly for patrons than the original LibraryThing which is used by me for data entry. Here is a link to our library account so you can see how it works. Temple members can see the new books as they are accessioned, find my reviews, and actually reserve a book through this link. https://www.librarycat.org/lib/HandelmanLibraryTINR Hope this helps.
