According to the father of Library Science, Dr. S.R. Rangnathan, a library is more like a growing organism and will need to be simplified and organised at different times. According to him, people who enter the library must be able to find a book of their liking without having to take assistance from any outside source. Here's where good library software comes into play.
Let's take a look at all that you'll need to look out for in good library software:
Library Images
Management of Library Information
The most important thing that a library needs to have is that it should be capable of saving precious reading time by guiding the reader to a book he wants to read. The information doesn't need to be limited to books.
Good library management software should be capable of including and organising all kinds of reading material such as books, journals, articles, dissertation/thesis, newspaper, maps, charts, project reports, CDs, DVDs, e-journals, audio cassettes, video cassettes, scanned images, audio files, video files, floppies and many other types of reading material.
Let's take a look at some must-have features of library management software, features without which a modern library won't be able to function to the best of its potential.
Bar Code Enabled
A library cannot be said to be fully automated if it does not make use of software that can read bar codes. Bar-code reading is a good way to keep track of all books coming in and going out of the library. There is a number of library information software available in the market but only a few of them carry this feature. Make sure that you get the one that does!
Multimedia Management
Modern libraries are very different from their conventional counterparts. Reading material on paper aren't the only resources they have. Library software that includes management applications for other reading resources and educational material in the form of CDs, DVDs, audio and video cassettes should be preferred.
Printing Applications are a Must
What good is Library software that cannot print member I-cards and cannot keep track of their borrowing history? Choose the one that is capable of performing both these things.
Article Indexing
We found this indigenous feature in only few selected library management software, few of the best ones of course! Please look at some of the software available online for a complete understanding of this feature.
Technical Support
What to do if your software runs into technical faults and troubles. The option of online technical support is a must. Get a software that has 24/7 online technical support.
One thing to take care of is to make sure that your software meets all desired technical standards such as AACR2, MARC21, MARXML, Z3950, NCIP 2.0 and Unicode.
Compatibility Matters
The software needs to be compatible with other Software especially Microsoft office, DBMS software like SQL (Structured Query Language) etc.
With the help of this information, we hope you'll be able to make an informed decision on buying good library management software.

Emerald Garden HIGH QUALITY MUSEUM WRAP CANVAS Print Egidio Antonaccio 17x13 Overview
Title: Emerald Garden. Artist: Egidio Antonaccio. Image Size: 15.86in. x 11.86in. Paper Size: 17.00in. x 13.00in. HIGH QUALITY MUSEUM WRAP CANVAS PrintThe Canvas Transfer Process
Producing a canvas transfer is an intensely detailed process, which begins with an art print (ink on paper). Special chemicals are applied which, when dried, form a film that is meticulously separated from the paper and permanently embedded onto a high quality artist canvas. The canvas is then carefully stretched and wrapped around a sturdy, custom-cut inner support frame, called a "stretcher bar".
Ready to Hang "Museum Wrap"
Canvas is wrapped around the stretcher bars and stapled on the back. White canvas will show on the sides and no part of the image is lost during this wrapping process. The stretcher bar on the back of the canvas has a saw-tooth hanger, making it ready to hang on your wall. The canvas texture and non-reflective nature of a canvas transfer allows you to hang them under any lighting conditions.
Durability
Differing from traditional paper art prints, a canvas transfer has a lifespan as long as any original painting or work of art. They can easily be dusted and cleaned with a damp cloth, giving years of use and enjoyment.
Easily Framed
Since there is no need to cover a canvas transfer with glass or to even mat these items, having your canvas transfer framed is easy and cost effective.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING MUSEUM WRAPS
If your order contains a border around the main design of the image, it WILL BE cropped off. This will occur if there is a white, black orother colored border around the main image. Any text that appears in the border WILL also be cropped off as well.
Cropping will REDUCE the overall size of the Museum Wrap from the dimensions stated above.
We CANNOT REFUND orders where there is a misunderstanding about this process.
