ABCD library automation software

And a tool for documentation centers, is the culmination of several technologies developed by BIREME (OPS/PAHO, Brazil). These technologies support their online information services and have been developed over many years, involving many experts. The package contains an advanced database management (both creation/definition and data-entry/cataloging) module, an OPAC integrated into a 'library portal' page with meta-search functionality for either local or remote databases (iAH), a Serials Control module (SeCS), a module for Circulation and Statistics, a Thesaurus Manager and - to be added later - an Acquisition module.

The software heavily relies on ISIS-database technology (developed by UNESCO, and BIREME, currently in an advanced release (with 1MB max. record size and 60-characters index keys) and migrating to the new ISIS technology (ISIS-NBP, in the course of 2009. Some ISIS-Software History and Technical Background on the new FOSS Integrated Library System ABCD. Research article Some ISIS-Software History and Technical Background on the new FOSS Integrated Library System ABCD Abstract While free and open source software is gaining momentum in library automation, it is still not a trivial event to launch a full-blown integrated library system (ILS), given today's high demands on such library systems.

Some ISIS-Software History and Technical Background on the new FOSS Integrated Library System ABCD

In this article we describe the ISIS-software origins of the newly launched ABCD-software for which there is a morethan-average interest in many parts of the libraries and information communities in the developing world. Many — especially younger — librarians in the West have never heard about ISIS, its relevance and its technological concepts, so we will try to shed some light on this in order for librarians to better judge the meaning of the ABCD software for international librarianship and — why not — perhaps even for their own purposes.

The Millennium integrated library system (ILS) offers libraries a technology architecture that is broad, stable, and includes what libraries need to meet their most pressing technology challenges.

Millennium ILS : Innovative Interfaces

Innovative designed Millennium not just for libraries, but also for librarians. Millennium’s modules reliably support simple, everyday library transactions while at the same time meeting the demands of the most sophisticated cataloger, circulation manager, or Web librarian. Innovative has worked to make Millennium a comprehensive solution that streamlines library operations so librarians can focus on doing what they do best, being librarians. Core library functions that leave nothing out, supportability that keeps it simple, Web tools that make you accessible, and integration that makes it all work. That’s Millennium! Virtua.
