[Evergreen-catalogers] Evergreen Acquistions vs some other method

[jmundy at tcpclibrary.org]

Several of our staff and I use a spreadsheet to track purchases. My book keeper tracks the actual funds spent.
 
We do not bother encumbering funds. We never spend our legal budget. Our income is no where close to what we could spend, so we aim low over all. I do keep our material budget pretty accurate with a cushion, but we rarely spend all of it.
 
Thanks,
John

We’ve been struggling to get Evergreen Acquistions set up and working, and are gaining ground.
But it’s time for us to evaluate the pro/con of even using an acquisition module, vs. using some other method.
 
I’ve got 3 questions for everyone...
 
1)      Do you use Evergreen Acqisitions and if yes, do you use it all or only some portion of it.
 
2)      If you do not use Evergreen Acquistions, do you use some other Acquistion software and if yes, what is it.
 
3)      If you do not use any Acquisition software, what method do you use to keep track of funds/ encumbrances/ect.?
