In a hurry?
We save your time with automated cataloguing from official sources

You can use AutoCat to download bibliographic details like title, author, edition and publisher for books straight into your catalogue. Our sources include Google Books, Wildy’s and Library Hub Discover (formerly COPAC). AutoCat also automatically creates one copy located in your usual library space. It also adds the front book cover image so users can recognise your resources readily. Think of the time you can save!

We know that budgets are always under pressure, so we provide affordable government library software that doesn’t compromise on quality
