DS, one of the leading suppliers of information management solutions to UK
public libraries, today announced that more than 50% of its customer base
has already selected to upgrade to OpenGalaxy 3; the latest version of its
library management solution. Newcastle City Council, Surrey County
Council and Lincolnshire County Council are among the customers who have
completed their upgrade and further upgrades are scheduled for autumn 2007.
OpenGalaxy delivers customers a significant upgrade in functionality,
usability and operational flexibility. The product also provides
customers with a platform on which they can develop exciting new services
using enhanced OPAC services, integration with other local authority
services, new interfaces including PDA handheld devices, integrated RFID
functionality and SmartCard technology.
The link to the Amazon site, one of several new features, means customers
can offer a wider range of lifestyle opportunities which users are
accustomed to finding on other websites. For staff the greatest benefits
will come from the implementation of electronic invoicing which will have
a huge impact on Library Support Services processes and will result in new
stock reaching library shelves quicker.
