Softlink IC’s Alex the Alpaca is a total all-rounder. While he is the undisputed illumin knowledge specialist, he loves taking his turn on Softlink Hosting customer support watch.
For over four decades, Softlink has been at the forefront of digital transformation. Softlink was one of the first to offer a Library Management System when libraries were transitioning from card catalogs to computers and one of the first to pioneer web-based systems for library management.
Softlink Information Centers is excited to introduce Liberty Digital, an innovative platform set to redefine the landscape of library and archive management. Launched at our recent Virtual Open Day on May 30, 2024, Liberty Digital joins our suite of products, which includes Liberty (an Integrated Library System or ILS) and illumin (a research and reference management tool). The best news of all? It’s available now for your library or archive, read on to find out more! 
On Friday 18 July, Softlink IC wrapped up a week on the ground in Papua New Guinea, delivering in-person Liberty Digital training for the National and Supreme Courts. Led by Sarah Thompson and Jacob Devine, the sessions brought together court librarians from across the country, all eager to sharpen their skills and build confidence in the system.
A huge thank you to the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) for organizing yet another outstanding Annual Meeting & Conference. Portland was the perfect backdrop for reconnecting with customers, meeting new faces, and diving into the latest in legal knowledge management.
Meet Dim, Senior Software Engineer and Cybersecurity Specialist on our development team. Working remotely from Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast (and visits the office in Brisbane occasionally), he’s one of our powerful minds, from solving applications development and cybersecurity problems to offering service support, he’s a multidisciplinary who thrives on positive company culture.
Softlink Information Centers has acquired Aurora Information Technology (AIT), a respected developer of public and special library software founded in the 1990s. AIT's team and products will now be part of Softlink, expanding its range of solutions without impacting current support or service for Liberty, Liberty Digital, or illumin customers.
Here at Softlink Information Centres (IC), we’ve been busy delivering on our promise to release Aurora Montage v2 - right on schedule for the upcoming Aurora Astria launch next month.
With simplified navigation, dedicated sector landing pages, and clearer product insights, the new website is built to save you time, support smarter decisions, and deliver value with every visit.
Providing support is an important part of customer service. For Softlink IC, live chat is now indispensable. It adds another string to our already great support delivery bow. Our Liberty and illumin software customers have another effective avenue to chat to a real Support team member quickly. We don’t know if the customers of other library management system vendors talk to a real support person via a live chat option, but ours certainly do!
