Description

For over twenty-nine years, our software has been utilized by a diverse array of users, including Public Libraries, Church Libraries, and a variety of academic institutions such as Schools, Colleges, and Universities, as well as Special, Legal, and Medical Libraries, along with Museums and Galleries. LiBRARYSOFT has been successfully deployed across the majority of the US Naval Fleet, various Air Force and Army bases, and International US Military Libraries, in addition to Canadian Military installations. We have crafted tailored solutions for Correctional Libraries, featuring unique routines specifically designed for San Quentin. Among our innovative offerings are the development and upkeep of specialized programs for Submarine parts Inventory and Medical Analysis. Utilizing RAD (rapid application development) tools enables us to swiftly prototype and assess new functionalities, facilitating rapid adjustments to our system. Moreover, our versatile tools empower libraries to operate on a single machine, a network, or even remotely via the web, ensuring accessibility and convenience for all users. This adaptability is crucial for meeting the ever-evolving needs of our varied clientele.

Description

The OPALS Open-source Automated Library System is a robust, collaboratively designed web-based program that stands out as an effective open-source solution. This innovative technology allows users to access various information databases, library collections, and digital archives via the Internet. Numerous institutions, including schools, colleges, research centers, businesses, religious organizations, and library consortia that offer interlibrary loan services, utilize OPALS. Implementing this comprehensive, turnkey system does not require the installation of software or the acquisition of costly computer hardware or licenses. Its “total cost of ownership” is not only sustainable but also exemplifies the benefits of utilizing standards-based, feature-rich web software. OPALS can be hosted and managed on our servers, or we can collaborate with your IT department to facilitate the installation and ongoing support at your location. With a dedicated team of experienced programmers and technical support personnel, the program is continuously updated and maintained, providing a reliable support network that is crucial for public-serving institutions. This versatility in deployment and the strength of community support further enhance OPALS's reputation as an essential resource for libraries and educational organizations alike.
