[ha-Safran]: Library Automation for a Reform Synagogue Library

Dear Librarians: I was mistaken my sister was using LibrarySoft at her synagogue. She does not have any Hebrew or Yiddish books to catalog just English. The two programs that got the most votes were ResourceMate 3.0 and LibraryWorld. ResourceMate had 10 votes, LibraryWorld had 6 votes and Su

Dear Librarians: Are there any automation programs that have copycat that are around $1,000? My sister does not have any Hebrew books to catalog just 3,000 books and DVD's in English. Sincerely Michelle Sandler Librarian Westwood College Anaheim California Campus --- Messages and opinions

Re: [ha-Safran]: Library Automation Software for a Small

Shalom Michelle, Allison, I wrote the following letter 3 years ago in response to someone's similar question. What I said then about how the software is working out, is still true. We just recently succeeded in making our database of library books available online for our members. ---

RE: [ha-Safran]: Library automation/OPALS

In Aug. I took over the librarian position at a synagogue with about 7,000 books. My predecessor cataloged books inconsistently by card catalog- - some according to the Weine Classification system for Jewish libraries and some by Dewey Decimal. It's very hard finding books. We are paper-based

Re: [ha-Safran]: Library automation/OPALS

I have to concur with Joyce on OPALS. I implemented it this summer (going from an oak card catalog cabinet to this system) and they were really helpful and incredible to work with. The vendor is actively making improvements to allow for Hebrew language cataloging as well as other enhancements

RE: [ha-Safran]: Library automation

Dear Safranim, I recently rolled out a new automation system called OPALS at my high school library. We formerly used Follett and this new system compares quite favorably, both in price (very low) and in its ability to catalog in Hebrew. A few of the day schools in the New York area are curren

I would also suggest ResourceMate (www.Resourcemate.com) for very small libraries -- maybe the 3000-5000 range. It is very inexpensive and does it's job well, though I'm looking forward to improvements. Rachel Haus Library Director Congregation of Moses Library Kala

Dear Anne, The best systems cost a little more. Athena and Alexandria are both excellent and easy to use, BUT the price tag is going to be in $3-5,000 range US. Surpass seems like a good system, although I have not worked with it in a library setting. Good luck! Let me know what you find. Suzi Dubi
