Librarians to Organize and Administer their Work Place
The increasing role of technology in libraries has a
significant impact on the changing roles of librarians.
New technologies are dramatically increasing the accessibility
of information, and librarians are continuously challenged
to adapting to the evolving
expectations of users , but yet productivity and
efficiency of the daily demanding work task of librarians
cannot be compromised.
Paradigm
recognises the librarians’ needs and some of the
new features introduced in our digital library solutions,
Integrated Library Management Utility (ILMU™)
, are the My Favourites
and the Workflow/Core
Program functionalities.
Typically, a library system solutions are organised
as huge hierarchical structures with cross-links to
various modules and programs such as “Acquisitions
> Listing > Order Request Listing” or “Cataloging
> Report > Cataloging Holdings Report”.
My Favourites

are organising tools that aimed to help librarians organise
their daily tasks and their jobs as a whole.
