Apollo overview

What is Apollo?

Apollo is an integrated library automation and management system designed to help public libraries streamline operations related to the e-item collection, circulation, cataloging, and more. It facilitates automated integration with several third-party products as well as services, allowing patrons to access or download e-items from within the cloud platform.

Key features of Apollo include batch management, a self-service portal, notifications, two-way texting, and reporting. Patrons can utilize the platform to engage in conversations with librarians through two-way messaging, link family members with user accounts, and receive notifications for required items via phone, email, or text message. Apollo also enables libraries to use VersaCat and VersaCard to create bottom-up or ad hoc consortiums for patrons to search collections as well as request items from other libraries.

Apollo provides a circulation management module, which lets supervisors print identification to check-in reserve items and send automated alerts to patrons on the waiting list. The solution also allows users to handle bulk check-ins, offline checkouts, volunteering, patron types, barcoding, labeling, and more.
