LibLime, a US-based provider of open source library software, has announced a partnership with Syndetics Solutions to provide enriched bibliographic content to users of the Koha open-source integrated library system (ILS). Syndetics Solutions is a supplier of descriptive content designed exclusively for library catalogues. Its services enable libraries to link to more than 15 million data elements including cover images and a variety of data element matching on more than 6 million ISBNs and UPCs.
Syndetic Solutions contracted with LibLime to integrate Syndetics enhanced bibliographic content with the Koha ILS. Additionally, LibLime has signed an exclusive contract for enhanced content through Syndetics, whereby LibLime will promote and help distribute Syndetic Solutions' enhanced bibliographic information to LibLime customers.
LibLime educates libraries about the benefits of open source, enabling them to make choices about how best to provide their communities and staff with better technology services. It then facilitates implementation of open-source in libraries by providing development, customisation, support and training solutions - tailored to each library's needs.
