Description

Experience an Integrated Library System (ILS) that seamlessly combines electronic resource management (ERM) with customizable A to Z lists, designed to organize all of your resources effortlessly. Transition effortlessly between a visually appealing online catalog and A to Z lists, ensuring your patrons have a delightful experience. This system not only includes powerful analytics and decision-making tools, but also allows you to tailor your online catalog with various components like online databases, subscriptions, images, and print materials. Embrace the cost-effective benefits of cloud hosting, where a single affordable fee encompasses all your requirements. By utilizing the CyberTools cloud, you can expect significant savings year after year, making it an economical choice in any Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) evaluation. Operating through the CyberTools cloud proves to be more budget-friendly than traditional ownership models. Your database remains entirely yours, with real-time shadowing to a secondary server, ensuring protection and access limited to authorized users only. You retain the flexibility to update or duplicate your data through user-friendly system menus whenever necessary. With multiple layers of security in place, CyberTools hosting servers guard against unauthorized access. Additionally, CyberTools offers daily backups through various methods across multiple servers and secure sites, providing peace of mind for your data management. This comprehensive approach ensures that your library's resources remain safe and easily manageable at all times.

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.
