You will always need more than you thought, so why not start with it all ?

Beginnings
Library automation
How do you start ?
There is so much to know and do, how do I begin ?
1. It's all about data, item data and patron data. If you have existing data we
will assist with the conversion of your data at no charge or you can do it
yourself using our templates.
2. If you are starting from scratch you can use a few different methods to
acquire data. It can be as simple as just using a barcode reader to scan the
ISBN on the book and use AutoCataloguing from LiBRARYSOFT to get the
data ($95), use the Library of Congress Gateway or just send us your library
cards or record information and our staff will enter it for you (85 cents a
record).
3. Barcode Labels ? Print your own using LiBRARYSOFT, the software to do
it is included at no extra charge. Or, purchase pre-printed labels which can
include the library name and phone number. You can order labels from us for
$39 per 1000 or from any barcode label supplier.
4. Network any number of computers or even let your patrons search from
across the internet ? All included no charge.
5. Why are the other systems so expensive? We are still trying to figure that
out. Compare and call us, especially look at the MS SQL server version to
compare oranges to oranges.
6. How do you learn the software and train staff ? Use our training videos,
weekly free webinars and consultants. Our specialty is finding most practical
and the least expensive solutions for Libraries.
Look for step by step solutions.

Automation
Run everything from a small church library to a
large university complete with branch libraries.
Run from a single station, a network or even via
the internet.
.
LiBRARYSOFT is simple to run.
For very small libraries, very large libraries and all
those Libraries in between.
Ask your IT department (very large libraries) or
computer knowledgeable friend (very small libraries)
to compare "Oranges to Oranges".
What does that $20,000 system have that
LiBRARYSOFT does not have?
.
Library automation should be straightforward.

Buying LiBRARYSOFT for a large library
Li BRAR YSOFT
Automating a large library ?
If you have a large library we have solutions with options to help. If you
have branch libraries, you can use our Union Catalog Solution. For a
school district or corporate solution, LiBRARYSOFTWeB lets you run it all
from one server with no installation required at the library.
Completely manageable!
You can even run the library
from an iPhone or iPad !
Database power
Corporate and large libraries at times need special solutions. We provide
a low cost solution with no extra networking charges.
Let staff check things in and out on their own using the Self-Circulation
Module.

For companies or schools using Microsoft SQL server in the library can
use our MS SQL Server version. Compare our products to competitor
pricing, LiBRARYSOFT's Basic MS SQL Solution is $995. Note that if you
do not have MS SQL server you can use our Interbase version which is
less expensive and includes a database engine at no charge.
The search is over for yourlarge library solution!
