[CASL-L] Recommendations for Destiny Follett Alternatives

[Gail Nelson]

Hi Tenley,

I asked a similar question in February.  Here are the top answers I
received at that time:
Book Systems by Atriuum
TLC - The Library Corp.
OPALS
Accessit (but this is now owned by Follett - LMS reported it was "brutal to
transfer records")

We were facing a similar challenge of looking for a new automated library
management system - for us it was cost based.  We have been able to
maintain Destiny, for which I am grateful.  Destiny has many features.  We
are all familiar with it across the district and we all enjoy its ease of
use.

Good luck!
Gail
