Features
Catalog
Allows for the creating and updating of catalog and holding records. Can be imported from standard MARC format, hand entered, or from online resources such as a the Z39.50 connection to the Library of Congress. Can also add one or more copies to a specific record and search through the catalog with book jacket images helping identify them faster and easier.
Each catalog can have multiple holding records linked to allow inventory control and serials tracking. You can also attach multiple jpeg or pdf files to each catalog record. All catalog and holding records can be exported in standard MARC format.

Circulation
The circulation module provides for fast check in, checkout, renew, hold, clear hold, and reserve of items for patrons.
Enter a patron's bar code number just once, and then check out one or many items to that patron as required. Enter the next patron number and continue with that patron. With a bar code scanner you rarely have to touch the keyboard. Provides quick email receipts to patrons after checking items out.
A new self service circulation portal is now available. The feature is designed for those libraries and locations where patrons are allowed to check out and check in materials at a dedicated self service station.
Patrons
The patron module allows you to import or hand enter patron records. Patron records can include an optional patron image for quick user verification. Items that have been checked out, reserved or placed on hold for patrons, can be checked in, checked out or cleared in the patron module. Basic and advanced searching is also available. As in circulation, the patron module also provides a quick method to send emails with a summary of the patron's transactions.
Serials Tracking
The serials module allows an easy method for tracking expected repeating items. Once a title is setup, the next expected item is created automatically after the last item has been received. Holding items in the catalog module are automatically created after receiving a serial item. Missing reports and letters can be sent to vendors on items that have not been received.
Inventory
The inventory module allows you to verify the status of your collection.
The inventory process provides instant feedback on items that have not been checked in properly. A missing items report tells you which items are missing from the shelves.
