Inmagic® Genie Webinars

If you're considering a new integrated library system (ILS), get a quick introduction to Inmagic® Genie via a Webinar.  The Webinar highlights many Genie features including Cataloging, OPAC, Serials Management, Circulation, Orders and ILL.

Genie is a Web-based application designed to meet the needs of the expanding corporate information center where the focus is on managing and providing effective access to internal content.  Learn how Genie allows information professionals, library staff and information users access to the information center from their desktops.

With Genie, library staff can use the Web-based cataloging and circulation capabilities to add new materials to the library catalog; edit existing materials; and perform check-in, checkout, and borrower maintenance — all directly from their Web browsers.  Genie offers end users a rich and robust search and retrieval environment, making self-service in the virtual library a reality.

Because Genie uses .NET technology and Web services, it can be integrated within your organization's overall IT architecture.  Genie creates a framework to expand the reach of your library to encompass the growing volume of content resources that must be managed.
