The Gift and Deselection Manager is an easy to implement and easy to use open-source standalone 
software for automating your gift management and deselection processing. This standalone software is 
part of the Getting It System Toolkit (GIST), designed to leverage data of various systems, 
streamline library processes, and reduce staff time for decision making.

If you are interested in a gift and weeding tool, please take a look at the GIST Gift & Deselection 
Manager:
