Hello all, Looking at a public computer management system- choices are Envisionware or Pharos. We run Koha and Unbuntu. Thoughts on best match and best support/service? Lee in Butte, Montana
Dear Lee, There is also Cassie(and Spot if have wireless and want to authenticate) available from Librarica. Envisionware manages thousands of management systems, customer service is okay and the product itself is okay as well. You can have them install it or you can self install at no cost except for the purchase price(s) of course. Pharos is good for really big libraries/systems and academic libraries. I think any of the choices will work with Koha through a SIP interface, it probably should make no difference what you run Koha on. Hope that helps. Respectfully, James Ghiorzi Library Assistant II San Benito County Free Library 470 Fifth St. Hollister, CA 95023 (831) 636-4107 ________________________________________ From: koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz [koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz] On Behalf Of Lee Phillips [lphillips@buttepubliclibrary.info] Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2011 11:39 AM To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: [Koha] Quick Consensus Hello all, Looking at a public computer management system- choices are Envisionware or Pharos.

NEKLS has several libraries on Envisionware, it works well and they are happy with it. (also, anyone out there using Envisionware and Koha: don't hesitate to contact us if you have trouble. I've had nearly every issue you can have with EW and SIP come up.) Liz Rea lrea@nekls.org On Jul 27, 2011, at 2:20 PM, James Ghiorzi wrote:

Here in France, BibLibre is parterning with aesis-conseil, a company that has developped an OpenSource public computer management system. I don't know if they work in english though. Just FYI, i've cced them HTH (Aesis = I met Lee at KohaCon09 and 10, she's an awesome librarian ;-) ) -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08
