Introduction

Net Tracker for Libraries is a full-featured database system designed for small to medium sized libraries. The software includes an integrated server and loan circulation component. You can use the software to keep track of all types of books, magazines, videos, CDs and other media. For each item you can track title, author, subject, publisher, copyright year, date received, cost, image, value, minimum desired quantity, current quantity, ISBN, supplier, location, notes, date due, last checkout patron information, circulation history, overdue history and much more. You can also easily generate reports showing you which items are overdue. The software also supports most barcode readers and can automatically generate and print barcodes. In addition, you can also use your barcode reader to easily jump to items in your database. The software includes a circulation component that makes item check in and check out quick and easy. The software features advanced reporting, graph generation, data export, a powerful search engine, full customization, online collection searching and more

Although the software works great as a powerful single user database, 3 client licenses are also included. With an integrated server, the software easily supports multiple users and automatically manages simultaneous updates and record views - the process is completely transparent to the end user. Network communication occurs through the Internet, so users may be located at the same branch or in different branches. In fact, people may work from locations across the country or even across the world. Although communication is Internet based, data is secure because users require proprietary client software to access the database. And unlike many other multi-user packages, the entire system can be setup in a matter of minutes. Sharing a database among multiple users has never been easier.
