SIMA Serials
(including Acquisitions and Accounting) helps libraries
organize and manage serials, order and purchase new
materials, and track and control costs. See how great
SIMA Serials is yourself by
visiting our
demos page! Please
see
how to acquire or call
703-569-0993 for a detailed cost proposal tailored to
your specific requirements.
Law libraries typically spend large amounts of money
on serials subscriptions because serials are crucial to
the ability of firm attorneys to conduct their business.
A software application that can efficiently order new
materials, check in and route serials, claim missing
issues, track costs, and identify duplicate/unneeded
subscriptions can be a time saver for library staff and
a money saver for the firm.
SIMA Serials does all this and more.
Everything—including serials
management, acquisitions, accounting, reports,
searching, spell checking, even email—is
seamlessly integrated, and the elegant user interface
displays all key information on a single screen.
If you acquire SIMA Serials
now and later decide to upgrade to the
SIMA Camelot Integrated Library
System, your SIMA Serials titles will
seamlessly transfer to the SIMA Camelot program ... and
since SIMA Serials operates the same as the Serials
application in SIMA Camelot, you will have NO learning
curve!
