[Lib-helig-l] Seeking some advice about software

Dear Colleagues
Please respond to Cyrill Walters (cyrill.walters@uct.ac.za) or Maureen Chiware (maureen.chiware@uct.ac.za)


Dear Colleagues,
One the academic departments at our university would like to set up a reading room for PG students & staff. The collection will start at around 800+ books increasing in size with time.
 
I would like to hear your thoughts on potential software that could support this type of initiative. Nobody will staff the room, but there will be a standalone PC for users to search the collection. Circulation will in all likelihood be an honesty policy whereby users' will issue the books to themselves.
 
I am looking for insights into software options? Are any of you using Koha or LIBwin? Any other suggestions you may have will be welcomed as well as any practical advice for an initiative of this kind.
 
Regards,
