1. Serious Professional System

Although the service is used by a wide range of collections, make no mistake, this is a serious integrated library automation system. It contains the features you would expect in software costing thousands of dollars more and includes many features that only the most well funded libraries can afford. The service supports individual collections of over 500,000 catalog records as well as union libraries, such as school districts of more than 150 individual libraries.

2. Great Return on Investment

Whether you choose the standard or enterprise plan, you will get all the library applications at a price that provides the best return on your investment.

3. Cloud Based - Web Accessed

In today's world, the key is to leverage the most advanced technology possible. By providing a 'Cloud' based service, all the power of the Internet becomes available to your library. There are no limits to the number of users or their locations. They simply need a standard web browser to manage or access the collection.

Did we mention that there is absolutely no software to load on your computer? Also no software updates. Oh and of course this means little if any technical calls to your IT department.

4. Complete set of Management Apps

An integrated system includes a variety of modules or applications that work together to build a complete system. LibraryWorld.com provides those applications, which include full MARC cataloging, circulation, patron management, inventory control, serials tracking, reports and settings. Each program works together to provide a fully integrated seamless system.

5. Built-in Z39.50 Client

Our Z39.50 client system allows you to literally 'pull' catalog records from many sources on the Internet, including the Library of Congress, into your own collection. Once pulled in, you can use the built in MARC catalog editor to customize the record to your own needs and add local holding records in a one to many relationship.

6. Cover Jacket Sharing Service

A built in jacket image sharing service allows you to automatically tap into over a million existing jacket images in a seamless and automatic way. After importing or adding a catalog record, in many instances the book jacket image just appears.

7. Digital Library

Up to 50 files, pdf or jpeg, can be attached to a specific catalog record and up to 10,000 files for a library. File images can be used as thumbnails in place of book jacket covers, allowing holdings to be quickly identified. In addition, catalog records can include URL links that take users to additional Web resources or eBook vendors.

8. Online Patron Access Features

A special highly customizable patron access program allows your patrons to have read-only access to your collection. The program can be linked right into your own Web site to provide a seamless experience. Patrons can even request items to be placed on hold if you desire. Several other patron access solutions are available including free iPhone and Android applications.

9. Free Trial Period

All plans are available to be used for 30 days at no charge. Simply create a library and start building your collection. All features are there in the trial so you can make sure the service meets your needs. If it does, simply purchase the service online with a credit card, or give us a call to activate the library.

10. Our Data Policy.

This last point is not so trivial. We have a three point data policy: ownership, access and transportability. Number one: you own your own data. Number two: we allow access to that data from any standard internet point. Number three: we allow you to export your catalog, holding and patron records into standard formats. We do not 'lock' you into our system and we will try, within reason, to make sure you can get your catalog, holdings and patron data out if you desire.

We appreciate the time you are taking to review the service and encourage you to get started by creating a free user account and a free 30 day trial library.
