Literate Leopard Library System

Never let it be said that school librarians cannot change their spots -- or ways! Our Leopard Library Systems permit librarians to take the "long view" of their on-line book cataloging needs -- to choose power, dependability and, ultimately, sustainability.

How? We choose the free/open source solution that fits your system's size and particular characteristics and then we work with you to adjust it so it's just right.

Our current offering is Koha, the powerful free software solution developed in New Zealand. But, as with all of our offerings, we are not wedded to a particular product, especially in view of the fact that the GPL (free software license) allows projects to capitalize on each other's strengths. If a good solution is developed by one group, it can be adopted and adapted by another. And if one tool ultimately leaps ahead, then we can move to support that one.
