A state-of-the-art Integrated Library System, in line with the new principles of cataloguing and information management.

Manages the entire operative flow: acquisition, cataloguing, lending and publishing of sources on the web.

Scalable, suitable for users of all sizes and types, it is Open, and integrates easily with modules and functions of other systems, it works as a tool for the entire bibliographic universe and the new digital context, in which sources are managed by a vast and heterogeneous community (publishers, or other companies that control and own distribution rights and use, bookstores and distributors, institutes that collect, store and make available these sources).

Functional modules

• Cataloguing (WeCat) – a software that allows data structuring according to the innovative RDA guidelines and in conformity with the standard of Linked Open Data
• Circulation (WeLoan) – integrated in one web application, agile and efficient, it supports all functions relative to the circulation of the source
• Acquisition – to optimize acquisition operations, a system of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) has been integrated, improving operative workflow management of all entities and typologies
• Collaboration – indispensable for organizing internal communication; coordinates flows of information thus avoiding any misalignment that could compromise the normal functioning of an institution
