Database
maintenance and backup included
Auto
Librarian.net™ databases reside on an Internet
Server. The
maintenance and backup of the databases is
performed by MC² SYSTEMS personnel and taken out
of the hands of the librarian. This frees up the
librarian’s time to perform other tasks.
Database maintenance
and backup is included in the monthly fee.
Multiple
librarian and patron users all with
unlimited access
Auto
Librarian.net™ databases can be accessed from
any Internet computer so that data entry,
circulation, searching can take place on multiple
computers at the same time.
Librarians can enter Materials or Borrowers
into the databases from their home or work
computers. Patrons can search the Materials database, their own borrower
record, or place checked out Materials on reserve from work or home—anywhere there
is Internet access.
