Everyone knows the state-of-art old-fashioned file cabinet for the library. Its "analytical" boxes and dividers, like the cards themselves, have faithfully served more than one generation of librarians. Paper cards have been a very flexible medium, allowing librarians to expand datasets and tailor records to fit their library workflows by simply making notes on the card.
Today, we can combine the elegant simplicity of a filing system with the functional and visual richness of modern web and data processing technologies. Each piece of data about books on the shelves, authors, publishers, readers, and dates can be stored, retrieved, linked, and used as a filter or grouping criterion for many thousands of records.
The solution by WikiTeq is based on the world-renowned open-source content management system: MediaWiki, the Wikipedia engine. Depending on your requirements, we transform it into a library data management system by implementing extensions (Semantic MediaWiki or Wikibase), input forms, analytical interfaces, and interactive reports, paying special attention to the extensibility and adaptability of the system on the user side.
Unlike its closest competitors, MediaWiki allows a unique solution designed, tested, and implemented specifically with your organization's goals in mind. Do not hesitate to contact us to take your library processes and knowledge management to the next level.
Sincerely yours,
Kirill Klimov - WikiTeq
