I am looking at options for moving a small commercial library onto new integrated LMS solution from CAIRS. The new solution would need to work in a few branch libraries, and be available for end user access over intranet and internet.

Do you have any solutions which you would certainly recommend or absolutely not recommend please? Does anyone have any selection procedure learnings which they would share with me.

Thanks a lot!

regards
Jules
