The advanced library software from Softlink
Published:  06 December, 2007

Modern library systems must be multi-talented, managing a range of physical, digital and on-line resources. Whilst books are still of fundamental importance, targeted web-sites and electronic files now make up a greater proportion of a school’s resources. Students no longer expect to be limited to research from a few computers on a network, but expect to be able to search all available resources, over the web, from wherever they are.

Oliver is the first and most advanced of the new generation of browserbased library systems. The software is now installed in hundreds of advanced schools who have exchanged Windows-based software for the freedom and functionality that Oliver offers.

Ease of use and integration with any other products are key assets of Oliver. Automatic loading of borrower data (from the MIS), cataloguing using a range of online databases, access to images, subject-specific web sites, reading schemes, and computer files all make Oliver a natural fit to sit at the heart of a school’s resources.

It is also possible to integrate with digital video libraries, streamed throughout the school, and with virtual learning environments, allowing up-to-date information to be transferred from the library system. Oliver also possesses the most advanced Help and Support facilities of any resource management system in the world.
