Technology

The System staff works to help member libraries meet the technological needs of their staff and patrons. We currently offer the following services:

  • Database Authentication Proxy

Database authentication allows your patrons to access databases from anywhere in the world.  It is a seamless process which only requires a last name and barcode to give patrons of your library access to library resources online.

  • Filtering

If filtering is a necessity, there are some filtering services that can make Internet filtering less complicated for you and your patrons.

  • Plinkit Web Site Creation

Plinkit is a content management system designed for libraries to help librarians maintain modern Web Sites that are easily updateable.

  • Web Site Hosting

The System offers assistance with Web Site hosting with FTP access, using Dreamhost.

  • Automation

The GateNet consortium shares an automation system, which you can find out about here.

If you’d like to ask a technology-related question, please contact the technology staff at the System.
