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.

Enhance and oversee your library's programming with SignUp, a user-friendly event management platform. Looking to boost participation in your library's activities and events? Make sure your entire community is aware of the exciting offerings available. Using SignUp, you can effortlessly promote events, allowing patrons to discover, register for, and attend programs without burdening your librarians with extra tasks. In addition to showcasing the events in your physical library or online, individuals can easily find programs of interest through SignUp’s intuitive search and filtering options. With seamless online registration, attendees can quickly sign up and make payments for events whenever and wherever it suits them, which is particularly beneficial for those using mobile devices. Registrants have the added advantage of easily adding library events to their personal calendars, setting up reminders, and receiving notifications about upcoming activities, ensuring they never miss out on what your library has to offer. This comprehensive approach not only elevates community engagement but also fosters a sense of connection and participation among library patrons.
