Dear All, I am starting a small specialist library and have to select a Library Management System. Opting for one of the big vendors seems easy to justify because everybody else does it. However, before I can seriously look at something as unusual as Open Source I need to be able to present a watertigh, fair and thorough evaluation method. I would be interested in the procedure and related documentation which other libraries used when they had to select a LMS. If you had documents you could share with me I'd be very grateful!
