Karen Coyle writes about what is needed for the libraries of the world that don’t have the resources needed to install and use a full-featured integrated library system (ILS).
There must be a minor psychic link involved (don’t worry Karen, your secrets are safe with me! 😉 ), because just a few minutes before she posted this I was explaining to someone the benefits of a fully online ILS that would allow libraries to get by using only an internet connection. There are a few (very few) systems that follow this philosophy, and I am looking through them to see if any are fully fleshed out. I will post what I find out.
