Customer NewsLargest Public Library in Canada Chooses EventsToronto Public Library (TPL) began a search in 2007 for a more effective way to gather, manage, and distribute information about the vast number of programs and events that occur throughout their 99-branch system.... “We are very happy with the Events solution and how it will facilitate the effective management and delivery of program and events listings from across our multiple-branch system,” states Dawn Charlton, Manager, Marketing and Communications. “Our patrons will be able to find information much more readily.” One Place to Look: King Township Public Library's Community CalendarThe Community Calendar provides a place where the Library and local non-profit community groups can post upcoming events. Many of these groups have since joined with the Library and have started posting their events to the calendar. ... We are very pleased with our purchase and know it has brought us closer to goal of truly being community-centered. The welcome value of BookWhere and MARC Notepad... plus an unexpected bonusWe needed to replace our ITS.MARC subscription because it was just too costly for our small library. We investigated some solutions and decided to go with BookWhere and MARC Notepad. Although the original purpose was simply to save money on our English titles, we found an added and unexpected benefit: we were able to find and download many of our French titles, too (sourced mainly from our fellow franco-ontarian libraries). I wouldn't have been able to automate my library without BookWhereAlong with the usual fare for private high school reading, Christian Brothers has a unique selection of materials on St. John Baptist de La Salle, the French educator who is the patron saint of teachers and founder of the De La Salle Christian Brothers Order…. BookWhere provided me with the tools I needed to catalog my unique items effectively.

Booking PCs, Managing Print CostsWe were hoping for mild weather and ended up with snow in Richmond, BC, when we attended the British Columbia Library Association's conference, April 17-19, with partner Convergent Library Technologies. While hundreds entered the draw for an iPod Touch, there was only one winner: Kerry from Fraser Valley Regional Library! Convergent specializes in booking systems and self-service solutions and through our partnership with them you can purchase PC booking and print management systems directly from us.

Featured Product - PC Reservation for Small Libraries!PC Reservation SLE is perfect for a single-building Library with 10 or fewer PCs that wants to manage PC access, session time, and bookings. It comes preconfigured based on the years of experience EnvisionWare, the manufacturer, has spent analyzing customer profiles to come up with a 'typical' configuration. You can accept the SLE defaults and you can be up and running in less than an hour, or you can change the settings to fit your needs with training from our implementation services team. We offer three online courses that you can purchase together or separately: Getting Started, Introduction to System Configuration and Policy Development, and Staff Training. What's the difference between this SLE version and the "full version"? There are no sacrifices. You get the same product used by over 5,500 libraries worldwide but it comes pre-configured. There is no limit to the number of Reservation Stations you can install; you get full reporting; and you can authenticate via SIP2 or Patron API to your library system or just go with PC Reservation's built-in patron validation. Your implementation is backed by solid support - EnvisionWare has the largest support staff in the industry, operating extended hours. You get full access to their on-line knowledge base; a customer web portal; unlimited support incidents; the most active user to user list serve in the business; and regular, predictable updates you can download at your convenience every 60-90 days.
