Criteria for selection of a library software in different types of libraries.

Following criteria might help the librarians to select the right software for other housekeeping operations:

Mr. Awdhesh what you say in point no 9 i.e. Y2K compliant, do you know Y2K problems, it was 10 year back problem of software development. Some early software institute was set year as 80,92,93,99,00 that means last two digits of year. So on that time the software system how differentiate whether it was 1900 or 2000 and after 31 December 1999, how we calculate the fraction of days either its follow 1900 or 2000 because computer only display 00 as according to their settings and When 1 January 2000 arrived, some minor errors was occur, specially database management system and some spreadsheet package such as MS EXCEL ,after this problem entire software development house already update of Y2K problem.
