Hi,

I would suggest you go either for NewGenLib or Koha software which are both Open Source and are very easy to install and operate. Both have got lot of features which one can use.

To Download Koha visit: 

Vimal Kumar: http://www.vimalkumar.info/content/koha-live-dvd

Vinod Kumar Mishra: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vkmkoha/files/

To Download NewGenLib visit: http://www.verussolutions.biz/web/

regards,

Thank u for all ur valuable Information , am interest in NGL Please guide me how to download and install ?

can i work without internet ?

Thanks & Regards

Umesh

Dear Umesha,

I would like to suggest you NewGenLib Library Automation Software. It is easily downloadable and also very easy to install on windows platform, just follow the instruction given alongwith allied files for software installation. The good thing is that you will get the online support from the Verus Solution. But for further maintenance and support, they will charge you a little money.

I have checked this software personally and found it most suitable open source software (windows based) for libraries having upto 20,000 documents. You can also use the MARC cataloging which make this software very very nice.

Regards,

dear sir

Thank & Regards,
