Superior Discovery for all resources across devices

Libero’s superior single-search Discovery portal makes it easy for library members to search, refine, locate and reserve items. They can do this across your local library catalogue and eResource collections in one integrated search.

Give your library members a search experience consistent with how they use modern online platforms and combine this with highly visible search sorting and filtering parameters. Your members can find exactly what they want, when they want it including all the latest releases and newly introduced items available in your library catalogue.

Library App for Mobile

Enhance and extend engagement and experience beyond the library to wherever your members may be with the Libero Library App. Members can access and connect digitally with your library 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Event Management for libraries

The modern library has adapted and evolved to being far more than the traditional repository of books and study spaces. Today, they are a centre for community engagement and a public space to experience and create meaningful interactions and lasting relationships.

With Events Management, Libero enables libraries in this community building role where staff can schedule, promote and manage free and ticketed events. This makes it easy for members to search, select, register and manage their bookings.

Your library events will be promoted to all your members and managed to a professional standard. Schedule new and recurring events, manage event locations, assign event owners, manage maximum ticket numbers, and handle bookings for all your library events.

Room and Library Resource Booking

Provide members with the ability to search, reserve and manage available library spaces and equipment with Libero’s intuitive calendar-style resource booking system. Once a booking is made, members can export to their online calendar and select a personal reminder either by email or mobile push notification.

For library staff, Libero provides an automated system to define and manage bookings 12 months in advance. Backend configuration includes ability to upload images for promotion, as well as descriptions, available capacity, bookings times and more.

Security and Compliance

The evolving nature of how libraries connect with their community both physically and digitally means that security and compliance is more important than ever.

Libero protects member data by implementing recognised security standards, including:

Supporting all major operating systems including Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android;
Undertaking regular security audits, encryption and vulnerability assessments to ensure the protection of user data for enhanced security protocols;
Complying with relevant Australian digital accessibility and data protection laws and regulations;
Meeting most WCAG 2.1 AA requirements

Testimonials

“The biggest gain for our library service with moving to the cloud is that we gain precious time. In not needing to prioritise and fit in upgrades around other workflow and tasks, we can spend our time on updating settings and functionality to ensure the software meets the library’s needs.”

“Libero is a crucial part of our library operations. Without Libero, our members would not be able to borrow items, nor use the other technologies we have available in the library. Our WebOPAC also empowers our members to use library services and manage their account when outside the library. ”
