Baker & Taylor, a worldwide distributor of digital and print books, has completed the second phase of its migration to CARL.X with the company's Customized Library Services (CLS) group implementing TLC's next generation ILS last month. With this upgrade, CLS will join Baker & Taylor's Corporate Cataloging Services (CCS) group who have been enjoying the expanded cataloging capabilities of the CARL.X system since December 2014.
Baker & Taylor's cataloging system has been hosted by TLC since 2001, when they began using CARL.Solution as their cataloging software choice to provide high quality bibliographic records to their public and academic library customers. The two companies have continued a successful partnership for over 14 years. The move to CARL.X allows Baker & Taylor's CLS Operations to continue its growth and further enhance the customer experience.
In addition to the sophisticated cataloging features that are already available in the CARL.X product, Baker & Taylor implemented new functionalities tailored to support their world-class operations. Baker & Taylor has reported that their efficiencies have increased by 30 percent with this upgrade.
CARL.X serves the needs of some of busiest and largest libraries in the world, and Baker & Taylor's 6 million titles can be counted among the largest collections of bibliographic data in the United States. TLC's development of this new feature set in partnership with Baker & Taylor strengthened the overall CARL.X cataloging product, and benefits the entire CARL.X user community.
