Question/Topic: What are the differences in Library Solutions?

Why we have several library solutions ?

1. Library cataloging requirements are different (small association or small church library will not have resources and needs to catalog and organize materials the same way as any academic or specialized library)
2. Library search requirements. If members search library catalog for items in a simple way (only by title, author, or category), you do not have to enter a lot of additional book data => choose Simple Library solution.
3. Use Simple Library solution if the main purpose of your library is to track items: what you have in your library and where it is, and you want to prevent library items loss.
