Library Automation assists libraries in their ability to share resources through an integrated, circulation management system that provides increased access to available materials and affords students the opportunity to develop search strategies. When
schools initially automate, the School Library System converts individual catalog cards into machine-readable cataloging (MARC) records. These records are used to create the online catalog (OPAC) for each library. The online catalog is continually updated. The
School Library System supports the OPALS system and provides both on-site and phone technical support.
