My first task

The first job is to choose, buy and set up a Library Management System and security system. Without this the library remains a room of books, to be looked at but not used. We need the systems in place for children to take books home.

It is a big choice, and I think I will have to have different companies in for demonstrations of their products before I can start to weigh each one up.

Here are some companies I think I will need to contact:

Access It
3M
Eclipse
Alice and Oliver
Heritage

I understand that some are web based and some are based on your own computer, which I imagine is one big thing to consider. My personal hunch is that a stand alone system may be better, as I wouldn't need to rely on a strong net connection, and it would be a one-off payment.
