The KLAS Catalogue Management Module

KLAS' Catalogue Management Module offers advanced, comprehensive cataloguing and authority functions designed to ensure efficient and accurate maintenance of your library's holdings. Complying with the USMARC communication format for both bibliographic and authority records, the Catalogue Management Module provides sophisticated options for adding, updating, and searching your library's records. Safeguards like authority control and review files protect the integrity of the database.

Spend Less Time Cataloguing with Easy Import Functions and MARC Workforms

KLAS makes importing MARC records from your preferred MARC record source painless! With just a few keystrokes you can load MARC records directly into KLAS. This will make your staff more productive by reducing the amount of original cataloguing and local data entry required.

KLAS offers many features to cut the amount of time routine tasks take. With library-designed and KLAS standard workforms, local and original cataloguing is a snap! When adding an original record to the database, simply select the appropriate workform from the browse list. Library-defaulted information is automatically inserted into the new record. The user only needs to fill in the remaining information. This feature, combined with simple import functions, will allow your cataloguers to become more productive quickly!

Be State-of-the-Art with MARC Standard Authority

Don't be fooled by imitation authority records. Some older technology systems do not use MARC authority records. KLAS uses MARC authority records. We can convert the authority you are using now or create local authority records from your database.

Client/Server Technology

KLAS was one of the first library systems to offer a true client/server functionality. Put simply, client/server technology uses more of your PC's power for processing. By using more of your PC's power, the library can keep the costs of the server down because the server doesn't need to be a supercomputer.

These are just a few of the benefits KLAS offers your library. We would like the opportunity to demonstrate KLAS to you and your staff. If you would like to see a demonstration of KLAS, click on E-Mail in the menu below and request a free detailed demo disk!
