It is better to use Koha Open Source software for automation in big libraries. It is open source, freely available.Especially for Indian Libraries which are facing financial problems, Open Source Software like Koha is better, than Soul and other softwares.

why koha is better from other OSS??

Aijazji u r right, Koha is highly admired by not Only in Indian library professionals but also internationally. Functionalities available in KOHA, Indian ILS does not match with it.

I think you have to choose LIBSOFT for your Library. Its more user friendly and have some new feaures. Even help service is good comparing to LIBSYS and other library softwares.

In my opinion libsys is ideal software for Academic Library. I want to know which software is suitable for public library?

Internationally there are three popular ILS OSS software, Newgenlib, Evergreen and Koha. Functionality wise Koha is Best.
