If you have no interest in libraries of theology/religion and related
topics, please delete now
Does anyone have recent experience of setting up and running a small
collection (mainly books) on religious, theological, pastoral care topics?
Or a comparable collection on related subjects?
A recently-retired colleague is attracted by the challenge of organising the
library of a Diocesan Retreat House in mid-Wales, but is hoping not to have
to re-invent too many wheels in the process. Of particular interest would be
anyone's experience of using any relevant computer-based packages for simple
cataloguing and circulation of a small collection (possibly no more than
5000 volumes). Z39.50 and the like isn't exactly what they have in mind, but
they would be interested to hear about any tried and tested, recommended,
inexpensive and reliable small-scale library systems which they could follow
up. And any other suggestions are welcome too
Thank you in advance for any suggestions which I will pass on
