A modern Integrated Library System for academic and special libraries.

Some of the libraries using TIND ILS

Why libraries are migrating to TIND ILS

Developed in partnership

"We actually have a say in how this system is going to develop. This partnership has given us an opportunity to contribute to the development of a more robust ILS for the entire library community."

— Marci Hoffman, Associate Director, Berkeley Law Library

A modern approach

"What we needed was an actively developed system designed with modern users and data practices in mind and a vendor with an eye toward progress and collaboration rather than tradition."

— Becca Neel, Asst. Director for Resource Management & UX, the University of Southern Indiana Library

Right-sized functionality

"TIND has filled a niche in the library systems market, providing standards-compliant functionality that is right-sized for smaller academic and research libraries."

— Julie C. Swierczek, Associate Librarian for Collection Description and Imaging, the Folger Shakespeare Library

An ILS with comprehensive functionality

OPAC

A modern and easy-to-use OPAC is provided. Indexes can be set up and customized. Users may perform searches using a simple or advanced search interface. Additionally, you can customize which fields are displayed to the public and which that are visible only to administrators.

Circulation

The circulation module has the ability to manage loans, holds, renewals, recalls as well as the ability to generate (automated) overdue notices. Multiple library branches are supported. Loan rules can be set up based on location, item type and patron type. Flexible loan lists ensure efficient circulation management.

Fines

TIND ILS fee management enables you to manage the amount patrons owe the library in fees and fines from loaned items.

APIs
Connect TIND ILS to your wider library and university tech ecosystem.
Batch Edits

Powerful editor to make changes to existing records in the database, without needing to download/upload metadata. Changes can be done in specific MARC fields and are based on regular expression filtering.

Batch Uploads

Upload metadata batches of MARC21, CSV or XML records via a web interface. Uploads may add new records or replace, correct and/or delete existing records.

Cataloging

An advanced cataloging module is provided. The module allows for autocomplete of fields such as authors and subjects. Linking of authority records is also supported. Revision history is available for all edits. MARC templates can be customized for efficient cataloging.

Label Printing

Print labels from the item view in BibCirculation and from global lists.

Acquisitions

A vendor database allows for administration of vendors. Administration of acquisitions is possible through a special acquisition workflow, allowing for tracking of ongoing acquisition (status, vendor, items) as well as providing historical overviews of previous acquisitions and orders.

Serials & eResources
Manage print serials, electronic resources, holdings and licenses in the same system as the rest of your collection.
Collections
The system enables a flexible set up of collections and organizing content to provide a user-friendly search experience.
Statistics

Full overview of circulation, inventory and asset statistics. Set up customized analytics and export directly to Excel or CSV for further analysis. Also comes with Matomo analytics to track user traffic. 

Z39.50

Seamlessly ingest records from external databases leveraging the Z39.50 protocol. Records are pulled in via a web interface and can be reviewed before finally ingesting them to the cataloging tool for amendments.

OAI-PMH

Supports metadata exchange through OAI-PMH, facilitating effective inbound and outbound transfers, and ensuring compatibility with a wide range of discovery services.

NCIP

Supports various interlibrary loan systems through the NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol (NCIP).
