Library Cataloging Software

[nelliott]

Hi All,

 

My school is looking for a new library system, at present we have got a quote for Eclipse.NET which NRS Cashless and iSAMS integration.

Can anyone else suggest an alternative system which would allow us to have integrate with both iSAMS and NRS Cashless catering for biometrics.

 

Thanks!

I can't find any info on compatibility with either of those two systems but you might consider looking into Koha (Official Website of Koha Library Software) or Evergreen (Evergreen ILS | Evergreen – Open Source Library Software). Both are very good open source ILS and you could likely contract with a programmer to build in support for those two systems if it isn't already present. For Koha a good place to start would be ByWater Solutions (Koha Open Source ILS Support from ByWater Solutions) as they are one of the largest suppliers of commercial support and hosting for it. I'm not as familiar with the support ecosystem for Evergreen though so I can't point you in a good direction there but I'm sure their website or forums would be able to give you some ideas. Hope that's of some help at least.
