Stretch Your Budget

In a time when shrinking budgets transform librarians into miracle workers it is important to use every dollar in your library budget wisely.

• Is your library being forced into buying an 'upgrade' to your current system?
  
• Is your library facing hardware that is reached its end of life?
  
• Is your library reevaluating current contracts? Do you want-- or need-- a change?

Whether it is maintenance dollars or system upgrade costs, automation services consume a significant amount of money. It may have been a few years since you last evaluated the financial implications of your current automation system.

You may be surprised to learn that it may well COST THE LIBRARY LESS to replace the system altogether with newer, more cost effective and customizable technology.

LibLime would welcome an opportunity to do a free, no obligation cost-benefit analysis of changing from your current automation system to an open source Koha ILS platform and to help explain the open source model.

We’ll explore ways to get the most out of your automation budget and make those hard-fought budget dollars stretch even further. Let us lend a hand as you evaluate your options. Who knows, we may even work a few miracles!
