ABCD: a new FOSS library automation solution based on ISIS

University of Antwerp, Gratiekapelstraat 10, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium, egbert.desmet{at}ua.ac.be

The new ABCD software for free and open library automation with ISIS is presented with its technological and practical characteristics. As a web-based integrated solution it combines most (if not all) functions of other systems such as KOHA with the flexibility of the (Win)ISIS software to create and handle databases of any structure. The main technical characteristics as well as some managerial issues are briefly presented. The planning on the further work is discussed along with some challenges related to the specific nature of the ISIS users community.

Key Words: library automation • CDS/ISIS • open source library systems • university library development
