BiblioTech PRO 2.1
New features in version 2.1 build on the BiblioTech PRO system’s core
functionality. Catalog/record update, index/searching (across single or
multiple indices), and thesaurus builder can be enhanced with optional
modules such as serials and circulation management, procurement and accounting,
and Web-based searching.
“Version 2.1 offers BiblioTech PRO clients functionality in a range of existing features,” said Lynda Moulton, Inmagic’s director of integrated library systems. “For example, user-defined fields are now available in all tables and we’ve added record-level password-controlled security. We’ve also introduced new enhancements such as a universal-global-modify utility and a user-ID-generation utility.”
New or improved features in version 2.1 include the following:
Phillip Green, Inmagic’s CEO, said: “The introductions in version 2.1
are really focused on increasing BiblioTech PRO’s value as a business tool,
allowing users to configure a system that meets their specific needs without
extensive IT support and intervention. Progress’ continuing product improvements
have also added increased stability, flexibility, and speed to this equation.
The bottom line is that BiblioTech PRO is a library system that is stable,
functional, and scalable in a way that no other product on the market can
match.”
Gilead Sciences
Gilead Sciences, a California-based biopharmaceutical company, will
use the BiblioTech PRO database to track proprietary information and a
range of other publications and journals.
“BiblioTech PRO is a powerful, eas-ily maintained, and highly customizable library automation solution running on Progress Software’s industry-standard RDBMS backbone,” said Green. “Bib-lio-Tech PRO will provide Gilead with the added capacity to tackle a range of vital business needs and provide the report-ing capability to meet its regulatory obligations.”
BiblioTech PRO’s stable operating environment and highly integrated operations make it particularly suitable for libraries demanding stringent document tracking and reporting over a large document base, according to the announcement.
“Employees are very enthusiastic about the potential of BiblioTech PRO to facilitate their work,” said Liz Perry, associate director of information resources at Gilead Sciences. “We have found the system to be user-friendly enough that people are able to answer questions right at their desktops that used to require assistance from my group. In addition, we’re bundling information into one place by providing links to company-subscribed Web sites, further simplifying the process for the end-user.”
