Calibre ebook Management: Digital Library Software for School Libraries

Dear Colleagues,

Many of us are employed in School Libraries where the funds are not like other institutions and users are also not having various demands of information except reading the e-books, hence they need only the documents on a web platform to read and refer. 

Time to time, it has been a hot topic in forums, How to make a digital library in schools? or Which digital library software is good for a School Library? etc.

I would not recommend any big software for a school library, simply Calibre ebook Management (https://calibre-ebook.com/download) is enough for meeting the demand of a school library. It has many features which we may not in other digital library software. 

It has various features, which we may not get in other digital library software. Features are not hidden as,

  • Click based installation,
  • Multi-format e-book support,
  • Sharing option through LAN or on Area Network.
  • Backup and Restore options
  • Easy to maintain the records
  • etc.

I would like to give my contact no. to all the School Librarians, Colleagues those who feel difficulties in Calibre; they can contact me on 09970219639 or also can drop emails at munesh09@gmail.com. I would help in making their library resource on the network. 

I would help in making their library e-resource on their network. 

Thank you.

Munesh
