I love OPALS. It's easy to use and the OPALS team is incredibly accessible,
super helpful and receptive to any specific requests and needs. They host for a
minimum annual fee. And they support Non-Roman alphabets so it's excellent for
cataloging in Hebrew.Hope this is helpful.Bruchie WeinsteinLibrarianMagen David

We have a very large synagogue library — 11,000+ volumes — that covers a very
wide range of subjects. Long before I took the position, someone chose Follett
Destiny as their library management software. It's very high end, very
functional, and very expensive. Our budget is being slashed and I need to find
a cataloging program that works smoothly for volunteers to enter data, patrons
to look up items, etc., that isn't priced like Destiny. I would appreciate any
recommendations. Ideally, our catalog would be run on their server.
Thanks very much,Leora
