Does anyone know of an indexing software that is good and open source? Or one that is good and doesn’t cost that much?

Subject: [ARLIS-L] experiences using Emporis

 

Has anyone subscribed to Emporis yet?  I haven't been able to find any reviews of it yet and am wondering what other librarians think of this database:  http://www.emporis.com/en/

 

One of our PhD students desperately wants us to get this.  There is a free online version but one of the benefits of the subscribed version seems to be the ability to export the building data into Excel. The free version gives quite a lot of data on buildings and other structures, but the subscribed version gives even more.  I haven't had time to thoroughly review it though.  Any comments on this from others will be greatly appreciated.

 

Best,

Heather
