Slimlib OPAC

Slimlib OPAC is a read-only copy of your library catalogue hosted at the Trimagic Data Centre (TDC). Instead of being managed in-house, your catalogue sits at the other end of a secure connection in the TDC, and can be accessed using a browser from anywhere in the world.

The TDC is operated out of two Class 1 sites in Sydney, which have been accredited with the highest level of security. Your Slimlib OPAC is fully backed up and IT managed, minimising your own IT expenses and dependencies.

Slimlib OPAC is thus an efficient, cost-effective solution for DB/Text Works users who want to provide their customers with Internet access to a library catalogue, but don’t have Web Publisher Pro or the necessary IT infrastructure.

Access to your catalogue can be completely open, or password-protected for authorised users only.

Features include:

• Simple and easy to use
  • export your catalogue from DB/Text Works and upload directly into slimlib OPAC
  • your customisable data mapping screen enables you to import whatever fields you need from your original data
  • upload a new version of your catalogue whenever you want, from wherever you are (all you need is your catalogue file and a browser!)

• Powerful search and retrieval
  • Boolean operators
  • single and multiple character wildcards
  • fuzzy and proximity searches
  • ‘boost’ a term to give it more weighting during the search
  • easy (single field) and advanced (multiple field) searching
  • refine your searches
  • browse the indexes

• item requests
  • add items from your search results to your favourites and email the library to request them.

So, if you have a DB/Text Works library system, and want to provide your customers with unlimited access to your catalogue records, Trimagic’s simple, cost-effective Slimlib OPAC is the ideal solution.
