Stephanie: I found LibraryCat to be too simple in its ordinary form, though I understand that you can customize it, such as by permitting patrons to browse by tag. I don’t mind LibraryThing’s public interface. And I’m not sure that I want to spend any of my paltry annual budget on software when LibraryThing costs $25 for a permanent license!

The TinyCat feature is more like a library data-base and more library friendly for patrons than the original LibraryThing which is used by me for data entry. Here is a link to our library account so you can see how it works. Temple members can see the new books as they are accessioned, find my reviews, and actually reserve a book through this link. https://www.librarycat.org/lib/HandelmanLibraryTINR Hope this helps.

An administrative assistant will handle the details once I have gotten them up and running. If anyone can recommend user friendly library software that is either free or inexpensive, I'd be so appreciative!
