LibraryWorld overview

What is LibraryWorld?

LibraryWorld is a cloud-based library automation solution which allows users to catalog their collection and manage circulation, patrons, inventory, and more. An online patron access catalog (OPAC) allows patrons to search the collection, and native iPhone & iPad apps provide access from anywhere.

The catalog module allows users to create and update library catalogs and records. Records can be entered manually, imported in standard MARC format, or pulled directly from online resources, including the Library of Congress with LibraryWorld’s Z39.50 connection. Users can add one or multiple copies to catalog records, and attach PDF or JPEG files to build a digital library. The circulation module’s barcode scanning and support for self-service kiosks streamline the check-out, check-in, renewal, holding, and reservation of items for patrons.

Expected repeating items can be tracked with LibraryWorld’s serials tracking module, and letters or missing reports can be sent to vendors for items not received. Missing items reports also alert users to any items which have not been properly checked in on return. A range of other reports can be generated, including catalog reports, statistical reports, and patron overdue lists, in addition to library spine and pocket labels.
