Eloquent Systems has completed a roll-out to the libraries in all 12 schools in the Port Alberni School District. “What makes this project so exciting is that by using the WebGENCAT system, we run all 12 school library systems centrally from 1 server, with 1 administrator,” says   Cam Pinkerton, Pt. Alberni School District Superintendent.

Vancouver, BC (PR) March 12, 2007 – Eloquent Systems installed the first 6 of 12 Library Systems 3 years ago. Installing a web based library system with the capabilities of WebGENCAT allowed the district to enable each library with a powerful Integrated Library System (ILS) but without the cost or complexity of installing software.

WebGENCAT requires only an Internet connected PC and the Library is fully connected, all administration, training and support is handled centrally.

With the schools in the district spread out across the rugged terrain of Vancouver Island’s Central West Coast supporting all the school libraries via an Internet connection was an ideal solution. Support and infrastructure we kept to an absolute minimum.

Eloquent Librarian enables seamless integration with sources of enriched material and supports cataloging of valuable websites. Library clients enjoy online searching, reading content online, placing automatic requests for hard copy, and checking the current status of their accounts.

The advanced architecture of the software permits many branches or institutions to share one system, giving local autonomy over some functions but centralized control over others. This helps managers share many expenses while providing better service.

Eloquent Librarian can run from the same WebGENCAT engine as Archives, Records and Museum to form a complete knowledge base.

Eloquent Systems offers Libraries a means to start immediately without purchasing or installing any software. Read about our Pilot Project Offer on our web site, for initial proof of concept. After two months of Eloquent consulting service, you will be in a good position to either purchase the software for transfer to your own server or pay an annual fee for hosting with Eloquent.
