Lucidea Integrated Library Systems overview

What is Lucidea Integrated Library Systems?

Lucidea Integrated Library Systems including SydneyDigital (formally known as SydneyEnterprise) and GeniePlus) is an integrated library solution (ILS) with automated knowledge management features for cataloging, circulation and online search.

SydneyDigital is Lucidea's unified library automation and knowledge management platform, designed with the functional flexibility to suit specialist librarians across commercial, private, public and nonprofit facilities. Deployed within the cloud, the system is Single Sign On compatible to provide convenient anytime and anywhere access within the desktop or mobile browser. Powered by LucideaCore technology at it's heart, SydneyDigital comprises modules including the views and portal designer for customizing the UI workflows for both staff and patron access, along with the KM Builder. The latter supports the extensive cataloguing of library and knowledge assets such as books, images, eJournals, videos and more. Librarians can richly record items and attach multiple files while remaining fully searchable, along with tools for importing MARC records directly.

These comprehensive collection and catalog management features are joined by an enriched querying experience for crucially assisting all users in finding the information they need. Faceted search options, smart filtering, alerting and one-touch navigation all combine to form a single authoritative source, fully integrated with internal and external repositories.

Key benefits of using Lucidea Integrated Library Systems

  • Cataloguing module aids the recording of assets with customizable templates, auto-validating fields and the ability to attach fully searchable files, while batch processing is made possible thanks to local or Z39.50 MARC file imports.


  • Circulation module supports full, express and end user modes for barcode supported check in/out processing, running searches etc, locating overdue materials and running associated collection management reports.


  • Acquisitions module supports workflow and costing planning, while a dedicated Serials module enables libraries to setup subscription services, generate claim letters and more.


  • Librarian administrators can set a wealth of universal access options via an Administration module, setting security permissions that give only granted users the right to view certain information or access specific functions.
