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.

Description

Constructed from the foundation of LucideaCore technology, SydneyEnterprise empowers you to achieve more, enhancing your capabilities significantly. If you aim to advance your organization’s knowledge management (KM) strategy but feel hindered by your integrated library system (ILS), SydneyEnterprise serves as the optimal solution. It offers a blend of traditional ILS functions such as cataloging, lending, serials, and acquisitions; advanced features like electronic resource management, integration with Active Directory and SharePoint, and multi-branch workflows; along with comprehensive knowledge management tools. These tools enable you to create and publish knowledge repositories outside of the library, conduct federated searches of third-party content, and much more. By streamlining the processes of capturing, organizing, and disseminating knowledge resources, you can establish a single authoritative source for all organizational knowledge. Furthermore, SydneyEnterprise is designed to integrate seamlessly with platforms like SharePoint and Google, and it supports mobile access, empowering end users to engage with resources from any device, wherever they may be. This level of flexibility ensures that your organization's knowledge management efforts are both efficient and effective, driving progress in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
