In a world where little is free, public libraries provide their communities with
free access to information. Like you, we believe that free
access to information makes the world a better place. That's why
Liblime offers open-source solutions.
Affordable library automation
LibLime offers a refreshing alternative to proprietary automation software. Our open-source products offer cutting-edge technologies and features with the freedom to customize. You'll never pay licensing fees, which frees up your budget up to invest in core library services or any customizations you may need. Also, unlike most proprietary software, our products aren't sold on a 'modular' basis. You always have access to all of the features that have been developed for the product you choose. If a larger institution pays for the development of a new feature, you benefit as well -- good news for public libraries operating on tight budgets!
No technology staff? No problem!
LibLime lets you choose which project costs can be managed in-house and which to outsource to LibLime or another development provider. LibLime's hosted, turnkey products are perfect for public libraries lacking a technology staff. Host your ILS installation on our fiber backbone server and free your staff from IT burdens.
