What, exactly, do I need for my library?
The following questions should help you decide:

1. Will our library use the computer to Check IN and OUT?
    YES: You will need PC Card Catalog CIRCULATION (complete).
     NO: You will need PC Card Catalog BASIC.

2. Will our library want to check IN/OUT and process items on
     more than one networked computer?
     YES: You will need the Limited Network version. (US$1,175)
     NO: You will need the Single-User version.
          (CIRCULATION: US$599  or  BASIC: US$399)

3. Will our library use one or more separate (networked)
     computers for patrons to search the Catalog?
     YES: One computer: You will need PUBLIC ACCESS - Single-User (US$189)
        Two or more computers: You will need PUBLIC ACCESS - Unlimited Network
        version (US$450). These computers can be located in the library or at any
        location on the network, such as in classrooms or offices.
      NO: You can add PUBLIC ACCESS later as your library grows.
              NOTE: PUBLIC ACCESS works either with Single-User
                           or Limited Network versions of PC Card Catalog.

4. Will our library want to manage item input to the collection
     offsite with several staff or volunteers assisting?
    YES: You will definitely want the HomeWork (US$139) utility.
            (Only one license per library is required, not one per computer.)

5. Will our library want to obtain some of its data from the
     US Library of Congress web catalog?
    YES: Consider the LOC Pick (US$149) utility.

6. Will our library want to have its Catalog on the WEB?
     YES: You will need Net Card Catalog. (Determine if your library
           will host Net Card Catalog on your web server [US$799] or
           if you prefer Library Concepts to host it for you. [US$599 for
           the first year, US$400/per year following])
     NO: You can add Net Card Catalog later.

7. Will our library staff require phone support and CD updates?
     YES: You will need the Enhanced Support Service.
             (US$189/year - Single-User)
     NO: If support is needed, you will use the SUPPORT form, still a free service.             Program UPDATES can be downloaded from the web site and may impose
            a nominal charge.

8. Will our library use bar codes and a scanner?
     YES: You may want to consider our IT3800 hand-held scanner that has been
             optimized for PC Card Catalog. Pre-printed Bar Code labels can be
             purchased from any library supply store.
     NO: Consider adding bar codes and a scanner later. It can immensely
            improve the efficiency of your library.

9. Does our library have some unique considerations that
     these questions and answers did not to cover?
     YES: Contact us with your specific needs.
     NO: You are now ready to ORDER.
