Library Management System (LMS)

At the heart of the LINCC network is a powerful, flexible, state-of-the-art library management system (LMS) offering college librarians an array of automated tools that make it easier for them to manage their library's books and other materials. Such automation helps streamline delivery of library services to students and increases library staff productivity. LINCC's library management system is used by libraries at all 28 colleges throughout Florida.

College libraries use the LINCC LMS for:

• Materials acquisition and processing. This includes ordering and processing books/items for addition to their collection.
• Metadata and inventory control. This includes cataloging new materials and entering that information into LINCC for use by other colleges, managing bibliographic data and records ("metadata") associated with each item in their collection, and keeping track of their entire library collection (inventory).
• Collection use. This includes circulating (checking in and out) books and other library materials, and using LINCC-generated statistical reports to manage their collection.

If you're into technical jargon, LINCC's LMS operates on Aleph version 20 software from library software developer Ex Libris, ensuring that Florida's college libraries have the very best LINCC LMS tools at their fingertips!
