OCLC are pleased to announce the launch of OLIB Web, a new web-based staff interface for OLIB. The culmination of a two year dedicated development program which included comprehensive feedback from the OLIB user community, OLIB Web offers all of the staff management functionality of the existing OLIB software in a web environment.
OLIB Web delivers a flexible working environment for library staff irrespective of their location; they can be within the library, at a remote site, or anywhere in the world! As OLIB Web does not require any special software on PCs, other than a web browser, it is ideally suited to both multi-site and single site deployment. It also reduces the IT resources required for software upgrades and installations.
OLIB Web is also ideal for libraries looking for a hosted solution. OCLC manages the services and the related infrastructure, freeing libraries to concentrate on serving their users.
Elisabeth Robinson, Global Product Manager, OLIB commented "We are currently in the testing phase of the development cycle and have a number of customers who are very keen to work with us during this period. We are extremely excited about this development which adds additional flexibility to our OLIB solution. OLIB Web enables libraries to choose a staff interface which best suits the needs of their library and delivers the ability to access their library management system wherever and whenever they need it."
