Did you know that Softlink Information Centre’s Liberty LMS, integrates with Nielsen Bookdata(NBD). The feature enables you to make use of NBDs comprehensive bibliographic data and cover images. If you have a subscription to NBD, have you set it up in Liberty yet?
Did you know that Liberty, Softlink’s library management system, integrates with ClickView? Well, it does and has for many years.

Long-time Liberty user and librarian at the Catholic Diocese of Auckland (CDA) Library, Louis Lum, is retiring at the end of 2018.

We congratulate him on achieving 50 years in the library sector and send him warm wishes for a wonderful retirement.

Just as we have the right to freedom of action and expression, we should have the right to gain knowledge. This means making knowledge accessible to everyone. Our levels of physical or learning ability, should not bar us from accessing knowledge.
"We had been using the same system for 10 years and required a fresh system with enhanced functionality that would make the accessibility to resources easy for our students and staff." Clare Holden, Library Manager.
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.
