In response to a previous question, There are several free cataloguing software but most notably
1. ABCD - formerly called CDS/ISIS <http://abcd.netcat.be/files/>
2. Koha <https://koha-community.org/en/>
3. Evergreen <https://evergreen-ils.org>
4. Greenstone - <http://www.greenstone.org/download>
The catch is they may be free but there are costs associated with developing technical expertise, training and hosting.

Subject: "Free" library cataloguing sites
Hello all
Please can anyone advise/help with the following? And apologies if this is the wrong list however I felt I had to start somewhere!
I have had a query relating to free, online cataloguing for libraries and I wonder if anyone has any experience of this, or knows of any good, free websites.
My user has sent me this link as something she has found herself from a google search:
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/five-apps/five-free-cataloguing-applications/
Previously Library Thing has been used but since abandoned as it was not found to be effective.
I don’t feel I know enough about cataloguing systems to advise. They are from a volunteer library and are wanting something that will catalogue their entire stock, and I think money is limited as to what can be bought into.
Sorry this is a bit vague!
Please could anyone help?
Thank you
Jess

Primary Research Group has published the International Survey of Research University Faculty: Use of Bibliometric Ratings, Identifiers & Indicators, ISBN 978-157440-472-2
This study presents data from 325 faculty of major universities in the USA, Canada, the UK, Ireland and Australia about how they view bibliometric indicators such as the h-index, how trustworthy they are believed to be and how often they are checked or calculated.
The study presents data on the use of particular tools and indicators, giving specific data for all of the following: Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, ORCHID ID, Thomson-Reuters Research ID, Scimago, bepress, SciVal, JSTORE, International, SciFinder, arXiv and CrossRef, among others.
Data in the report is broken out by tenure status, gender, age, semester teaching load, academic field, academic title, and political views of the survey participant, as well as by the country or origin, public/private status and world ranking of the universities of the survey participants.
Just a few of this 113-page report’s many findings are that:
· SciFinder use was reported by 7% of respondents, especially at private institutions (10%), and by faculty 30 years or younger (22%).
· Google Scholar was the most frequently used tool for bibliometrics, with 85% of the respondents reporting its use. All young faculty reported using Google Scholar with this proportion declining to 77% of faculty 60 years and over.
· 76% of faculty in the UK/Ireland had an ORCHID ID vs. only 35% in the USA.
· Political conservatives are more likely than those with more centrist or left-wing views to feel that bibliometric measures were trustworthy.
· Faculty in literature and languages found the most difficulty in finding journal impact factor data for use in their career planning.
