Hi Mary,
I have used LibraryThing for my personal library collection for years. I was not aware of TinyCat; thank you for mentioning it. One question that came to mind: how do you incorporate your database subscriptions and article-level discovery into TinyCat?
Cheers,

Subject: Opinions on TinyCat and LibraryThing
I would love to hear opinions on TinyCat and LibraryThing. I'd be interested in other low cost ILS too.
Currently we use Horizon and are down to less than 100,000 item records for physical items. We've been aggressively weeding and purchasing electronic copies over the past 5 years. We're working towards a 100% online library for our students, but will likely make it to 99%. I anticipate keeping <5,000 books at one campus location, hence the 99%.
If you don't have experience in TinyCat or low cost options - but have experience with ILS management and migrations - I'd love to hear your "keep this mind..." comments!
