Re: [ha-Safran] Recommendation needed: free library software

[Emily Bergman]

I also recommend LibraryThing.  Basically free and very easy to use.  It's
in the cloud, so there's no software for you to maintain.  There's no
circulation system, I think, but I just use old fashioned pockets and
cards, since we are too small to be issuing any kind of library card.  The
Hebrew issue might make a difference for you, but I just transliterate my
Hebrew books.  I also suggest you look at the AJL knowledgebase and
hasafran archives.  This question comes up regularly, and many of us have
posted before.

Good luck,
Emily

[ha-Safran] OCLC Update slides better link

[Dickel, Geraldine]

Dear colleagues,

Here is a better link for the OCLC Update meeting slides.  The first link that 
I sent out last week did not work as expected.  I must have down something 
incorrect when I tried to share the file.  Sorry about that!  With this link 
you should be able to preview and download the file.

Re: [ha-Safran] free library software recommendation

[Lieberman, Eli]

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

As part of the AviChai Bookshelf program, we worked closely with Harry Chan at 
OPALS to develop not only a Hebrew-friendly program but also one that has a 
union catalog of the holdings of day school libraries throughout the US and 
Canada. 

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

I have recently created a catalog of our library using LibraryThing.  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.

Our adult education division has a small library and would like to have a way 
to keep track of the books and check them in and out.  An administrative 
assistant will handle the details once I have gotten them up and running.  If 
anyone can recommend user friendly library software that is either free or

Hi Micah and Shira,
I use Surpass in my library but our patrons are able to log on to our catalog 
on their phone or computer by using a new account I created through 
LibraryThing called TinyCat.  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.
