An Overview of Public Access Computer Software Management Tools for Libraries
“I’m about to describe a representative sample of software tools in several important categories. This article does not attempt to address all programs in all software management categories because there are too many products to do that. I’ll discuss specific products from specific vendors, but won’t recommend any. You should do further research and make a purchase decision appropriate to your environment. Most of the software discussed in this article is available for testing prior to purchase. Some of the programs are free.” By Richard Wayne, systems groups manager, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
