Catalogue Interfaces of Integrated Library Management Systems (ILMS): Experiences in a Proprietary and Open Source Software
Archana, S N; Padmakumar, P K; Beena, C
The Central Library of Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) has been automated
by proprietary software (Adlib Library) since 2000. After 11 years, in 2011, the university authorities
decided to shift to an open source software (OSS), for integrated library management system (ILMS),
Koha for automating the library housekeeping operations. In this context, this study attempts to share
the experiences in cataloging with both type of software. The features of the cataloging modules of both
the software are analysed on the badis of certain check points. It is found that the cataloging module
of Koha is almost in par with that of proven proprietary software that has been in market for the past
25 years. Some suggestions made by this study may be incorporated for the further development and
perfection of Koha.
