Library Software



Introduction to the 247lib.com Library Management System

 

247Lib.com is library management software, which allows you to use a standard web browser for managing your library, so you can manage your library using Windows PCs, Apple MACs, low-cost Chromebooks, tablets or even mobile phones.

Configurations are available for charities, colleges, schools, health libraries, corporate libraries, law libraries, prisons, public libraries, government libraries and special libraries.

247lib.com is suitable for organisations of any size from those run by volunteers to large enterprises.

247lib.com is based on MARC 21, the international standard used by publishers and libraries worldwide, so you can import and export bibliographic records easily and can use MARC 21 utilities for your online housekeeping.

MARC 21 supports the cataloguing of all types of item e.g. news, events, rooms, assets etc. 247lib.com supports the cataloguing of all items in MARC 21 in any language.

With its colourful web browser interface and clear screens, with online help, staff and users find 247lib.com library software intuitive and easy to use.

You can access your library and resources from anywhere including your school, workplace or home.

Your users want to search the library catalogue through a website, which engages and excites. We refer to this website or portal as an OPAC (Online Public Access Catalogue). Unlike other library systems, 247lib.com OPACs are tailored to each client and can emphasise your own individual identity, so that your OPAC is unique and reflects your brand; a 247lib.com OPAC highlights the special nature of your collections, 247lib.com will raise the profile of your library and your collections.

247lib.com configurations provide a complete integrated library management system with modules available for authorities, biometrics, book covers, bookings, borrowers/patrons, catalogue, enquiry management, finance and budgets, orders and invoices, periodicals, reports (emails, files and SMS), reviews and ratings, self-issue ( SIP2 ), stock item, supervisor, surveys and polls, z39.50 - so there are no issues with the expense of extra modules.

You can address any library management or resource management task by simply enabling the modules you want to use from the friendly web based configuration tool.

247lib.com allows you to manage all your resources including books, eBooks, periodicals, eJournals, art, assets, room bookings, news, events, online discussions and much more.

247lib.com may be hosted either at your premises or by third party hosters, so you can choose the hosting service which offers best value.
