If you are running SIMA Camelot via the Internet on SIMAnet, here are some advantages of SIMA Camelot WebCat:
| All printing is handled by your local system, not by SIMAnet. |
| Any authorized firm user with the password can connect from any computer, from any location, at any time, without the need (as with SIMAnet) for first installing a Citrix client on that computer. |
| All hypertext links in all fields of your catalog are active, including links placed in the title field. |
| SIMA Camelot WebCat can be kept open indefinitely throughout the day. |
| Catalog searches are especially simple and easy.
|
SIMA Server Option for WebCat. We can host your SIMA Camelot WebCat on our SIMAnet servers, freeing the resources of your firm's own network servers and IT/IS Department. Incredibly easy to do if you are already a SIMAnet subscriber, but still easy even if you are running SIMA Camelot on your library's computers or your firm's network servers. Your library patrons would access your SIMA Camelot WebCat from a desktop icon. Call or email for more information and pricing.
