Insignia Library System

Surpass is an integrated and full-featured suite of applications that seamlessly automates the day-to-day functions of libraries of all types. Ideal for primary and secondary school districts as well as college, public, corporate, and specialty libraries, Surpass is composed of four core applications: Surpass Select, Surpass SL, Centriva, and Surpass CL. Additionally, Surpass provides a special package for church libraries and its hosting service provides libraries the capability to put their whole system online without the help of IT staff and/or in-house servers.

OPALS Open-source Automated Library System is a powerful cooperatively developed, Web-based, open source program. This alternative technology provides Internet access to information databases, library collections and digital archives. Many school, college, research, business, religious and library union catalogs (that provide ILL services) use OPALS. There is no need to install software or purchase expensive computer hardware or software licenses to implement this powerful, turnkey Internet accessible system. The “total cost of ownership” of this standards-based, Web-based, feature rich software is demonstrably and undeniably sustainable. We can host and maintain OPALS on our servers or we can work with your IT colleagues to install and support it at your site. Experienced programmers and technical support staff update and maintain the program, giving this open source initiative a responsive, dependable support framework that is essential for institutions that serve the public.
