Here are the latest news about Bibliovation:
2023. Bibliovation 7.2 gets online payment options
LibLime introduces the latest version of its ILS software Bibliovation 7.2. It is entirely web-based, granting researchers, library staff and system administrators access through web browsers. By leveraging the FedRAMP authorized IaaS and PaaS certification from Amazon AWS Cloud, along with a special security authorization from the US Department of Defense's cybersecurity experts for SaaS, Bibliovation provides libraries with a highly secure and cost-effective hosting solution. It supports various standards such as MARC21, Dublin Core, RDA and geotagging, enabling libraries to manage both physical and digital content on a single Rest API-based platform. The Bibliovation circulation subsystem is purpose-built to facilitate shared union catalog solutions, granting individual consortium members significant autonomy, including ownership of local bibliographic records, item records and patron records. Bibliovation MARC cataloging allows for local control over cataloging rules that can complement or surpass AACR2 and RDA rulesets. The acquisitions subsystem in Bibliovation is EDI-compliant, featuring a multi-tiered fund hierarchy and supporting the import of csv data converted into the MARC21 format for streamlined acquisition workflows. Additionally, Bibliovation now includes online payment options and comprehensive NCIP support. With hosted production, reporting and test systems, libraries have the necessary capabilities and control to effectively support their daily operations.
2021. Federal Government Library selects Bibliovation
In a galaxy not so far away, a federal government library nestled in the quaint wilderness of Massachusetts has made the cosmic leap to adopt Bibliovation as its shiny new Library Services Platform (LSP). The implementation mission has been set in motion with the singular aim of achieving full Bibliovation hyperspace functionality by October’s end. Equipped with precisely the sort of techno-wizardry necessary to align with the library's delightfully intricate workflows, Bibliovation also comes with a LibLime-proposed price tag that won’t leave anyone gasping for fiscal oxygen. The LibLime crew, a team of implementation virtuosos, will work hand-in-hand with library staff to ensure that the October go-live date doesn’t slip into an alternative dimension. Being entirely web-based, this LSP marvel allows researchers, staff, and system overlords to glide seamlessly through its interface via standard-issue web browsers. And thanks to the FedRAMP-certified infrastructure of the Amazon AWS Cloud, it delivers the kind of secure and economical hosting solution that would make even the most paranoid Vogon relax.
2014. Bibliovation adds new Discovery Layer
LibLime has flung open the digital curtains to unveil the cosmic marvel that is Bibliovation 5.6, a release orbiting the freshly minted Discovery Layer. Built upon the gloriously arcane foundations of a RESTful API, this innovation doesn’t just stop at "useful"—it boldly strides into the realms of extraordinary local tinkering and effortless alliances with third-party galactic titans of academia. Highlights in this latest upgrade include the elegant art of merging authority records (because chaos in cataloging is so last epoch), a cunningly versatile OPAC editor, and mobile device support for the librarian on the go. As with its noble predecessors, the entire Bibliovation enterprise hums contentedly within the Plack environment, making everything run smoother than a Vogon bureaucrat's forms. And let’s not forget the Solr search engine—a dazzling open-source behemoth derived from Apache Lucene, capable of scaling up faster than a panicked whale falling from the sky, supporting the sprawling search needs of academic and internet empires alike.
2007. LibLime acquires library management software Koha
In the vast and improbably complex universe of library systems, LibLime, with the kind of calculated decisiveness normally reserved for hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings, has deftly acquired the Koha division of Katipo Communications Ltd—the very geniuses who first concocted Koha in the primordial soup of library automation. Among the gleaming treasures of this interstellar transaction are Katipo’s library support contracts, the sacred copyrights to the original Koha source code (much revered by open-source acolytes), and the coveted koha.org domain and Website—presumably kept in a well-padded crate labeled "DO NOT PANIC." LibLime, having gallantly championed commercial support for Koha since the ancient days of 2005, is now poised to amplify its developmental and support superpowers, ready to tackle the cosmic boom in demand for open-source wizardry in the library sector. And, in a twist that would make any Vogon jealous, this acquisition embodies the curious brilliance of open-source: Katipo’s Koha patrons can relax, safe in the knowledge that switching to a new ILS is as unnecessary as a towel on a sunny day in Margate.
