Our school is planning on moving from a homegrown to a hosted ILS. Two options that are being considered are Koha and Follet Destiny® Resource Management Solution. Anyone have good comparison or personal comments to make? I did try out a version of Koha myself about 2 years back, but I did find it hard to add books without having to type in all the information ourselves (vs just pulling the info from Amazon or some similar central source)
I don't know Follet, but I do know that "copy cataloguing" with Koha is fairly easy, have a look at the section called "Using Z39.50 for Copy Cataloging" at the bottom of this page: http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.2/cataloging/adding-records As long as you have access to Z39.50 servers with records that match what you want to catalogue, it couldn't be much easier! ;-) Regards, Magnus Enger libriotech.no
