Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] library management software recommendations
I love OPALS. It's easy to use and the OPALS team is incredibly accessible,
super helpful and receptive to any specific requests and needs. They host for a
minimum annual fee. And they support Non-Roman alphabets so it's excellent for
cataloging in Hebrew.
Hope this is helpful.

Hi all,
I am the current librarian at Congregation Neveh Shalom. We have a very large
synagogue library — 11,000+ volumes — that covers a very wide range of
subjects. Long before I took the position, someone chose Follett Destiny as
their library management software. It's very high end, very functional, and
very expensive. Our budget is being slashed and I need to find a cataloging
program that works smoothly for volunteers to enter data, patrons to look up
items, etc., that isn't priced like Destiny. I would appreciate any
recommendations. Ideally, our catalog would be run on their server.
Thanks very much,
Leora
