[Web4lib] WXIS unesco software!

[A.Asemi]

Hi all, 
I am doing an evaluation about our libraries' software. We change WXIS software as an open source software based on our needs and use of this software in all of the libraries in the university. Now, I need to a checklist for this software.   
Do you have any information about this software? and do you have any information about evaluation open source software for libraries? Do you have any checklist about that?
 
Thanks a lot for your helping!

We do something similar here. Our blog is basically only for library-related
events and announcements. We recently installed a flat-screen TV in our
lobby, which we're using to make announcements about library stuff (new
services, software upgrades, etc) as well as to provide a directory of sorts
as to what room folks should head to if they are here for a class or a
meeting.

We were recently approached by a campus office looking to advertise a majors
fair on the screen, and we ultimately decided that we didn't want to allow
advertisements for non-library events. This is for two reasons - we felt
that advertising events taking place elsewhere on campus might cause
confusion about the location (I saw that advertised at the library, and here
I am for it, but now they're saying it's across campus?). In addition,
we
serve two separate colleges and thought that displaying ads for things
taking place at one college or the other might cause additional confusion
among students, (as well as potential political issues).

Hope that helps!
