Dear Customer

 

v-Library version September 2011 is packed with incredible Digital Delivery, Multimedia Streaming and Federated Search functions and features.

We would love your site to avail themselves of all these exciting next generation functions and features and turn your Library into a truly global ‘Resource Centre’ for physical and digital resources.

We would also recommend that you to encourage your IT, Curriculum, general staff and all students to use almost ANY browser based device to access these resources from a device of their choosing.

 

Don’t forget you also have the option to download unlimited TV and Foxtel content FREE of all advertisements and have it delivered via your Library OPAC from any browser based devices.

 

You must have the right server environment if you envisage changing the culture of your staff and users from viewing the library as just a place you go for physical resources. To operate as a “Resource Centre” where your staff and users can access rich Multimedia, Global content, Curriculum as well as reserve physical resources, the platform, software, hardware and operating system needs to be right from day one. Comprise in any of these areas will comprise the library, it's staff, professionalism and the services they provides
