Our Top 5 Liberty New Features for 2020

Despite the challenges everyone has faced in 2020, Softlink IC continued to focus on delivering even more functionality and enhancing existing functionality. Our Liberty users are a diverse bunch.

Are You Committing One or More of These Top 5 Security Sins?

For Knowledge and IT Staff, ensuring the security of the operating systems they use and the data they manage is their most important responsibility. From their organization’s operating systems to software like integrated library systems (ILS), they are all about protecting user privacy and the organization’s data.
Despite the best intentions, security gaps can result. No one is perfect and we all need help sometimes. With that in mind, Softlink IC would like to share with you what we believe are the 5 top possible security sins that could be committed!
Knowledge Professionals Care About Your Data Security

Valuing data, and its appropriate security, is nothing new for Knowledge and IT professionals. Softlink IC is deeply aware of the focus these professionals have, not only curating valid, verifiable information, but protecting sensitive data from those who would use it for questionable purposes. Many information professionals understand there is a growing fear among their users about their own personal data. Who is accessing it? For what purpose?
Dirty Data Cleaned Dirt Cheap!

It is not an easy thing to ensure that data imported, or manually added, into your library management system (LMS) is clean. Having clean data is critical to ensuring the results returned from any search is a true reflection of your resources.
