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.
