Well we get only $50/year (plus some a specially earmarked memorial funds)
which is one reason why we don't have an automated catalog. I'd suggest that
you ask to move the money from "automation" to "supplies and new materials
purchases". While everyone wants to be "hot" (automation), the sad truth is
that small libraries are primarily shelf-browsing and religious school support
collections.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Reform Synagogue Library Budget Question for Non Funded
Libraries
:
I have been given funding by my reform synagogue's endowment fund to
automate a 2500 volume library and buy supplies. I have chosen
Library World online automation software. The price is $425 a year. I
have only been given funding for one year. How do synagogues without
a library budget pay for this software every year? I am a retired
disabled librarian who is volunteering to do this as I am able. All
the books have Elazar numbers on the spine labels from a previous
volunteer who was not a degreed librarian. They are all faded away
and falling off. No card catalog or OPAC was ever
made before.
