I recently asked for recommendations to catalog a library of 200 titles
by a nonprofessional. I had several responses, and they ranged from $40
to $400 resources:
Access-free if on your hospital's system; unsure if compatible
with bar coding (1 response)
Book Collector (collectorz.com)--$40 for a single station, $100
for scanner,... (1)
Internet Library for Librarians (
http://www.itcompany.com/inforetriever/soft_cat.htm) -web site
offers cataloging and other software for librarians.
Library Thing (librarything.com)-First 200 books are free, then
a $25 life-time fee (2)
MARCIVE--$0.37 per record and add a different location for her
holdings(1)
Professional Software-Well-liked but has a steep learning curve
(1)
Resource Mate--$395 with bar coding plus an annual fee (2
responses)
CyberTools-We will offer her the option of adding her collection
to our catalog. We could work
out the pricing and cataloging issues between departments and with
CyberTools as
the company is very helpful.
Thanks go to Maryanne, Mari, Peg, Gabriele, Gayle, Vicki, Kitty, and
Nancy. You've all given me variety of choices to offer the Cancer
Center.
