If your library has fewer than 5,000 volumes,
Surpass SL is for you! If you need to provide
access to your catalog via the Internet, then
Surpass Web SL can meet your need.
Surpass SL and Surpass Web SL are ideal for small
libraries such as:
-
Churches and synagogues
-
Small private, parochial, and charter schools
-
Small corporate libraries and resource centers
-
Private collections
Each Surpass SL bundle includes all the software you
need to get your small library automated, including
a full-featured searchable patron catalog. Our
SL bundles also include one year of free technical
support to help you get up and running. Just
add an optional barcode
scanner and you're ready to go!

Surpass SL includes
-
Central:
circulation, administration, cataloging,
reporting
-
Safari:
patron catalog
-
Stand-alone license: may be run on a
non-networked PC
(network licensing may be purchased)

Surpass Web SL includes
-
Central:
circulation, administration, cataloging,
reporting
-
Web Safari:
web-based patron catalog
-
Site License: allows unlimited access to your
catalog
Surpass Web SL is a good choice if:
-
You want to make your collection searchable via
the Internet. Patrons can visit your
library's home page, then click a link to enter
the Web Safari catalog.
-
You have your own web server on site (not just a
web page hosted by a web hosting company)
-
You have a high-speed "always on" Internet
connection so that your web server (running Web
Safari) will always be available
-
You have a static IP address from your ISP (or
utilize a dynamic DNS service like such as the
one found at
www.tzo.com)
-
You have a technician capable of maintaining
your in-house web server on which Web Safari
will reside. Our support department can
assist your technician with Web Safari, but can
not provide basic web server setup training.

You may wish to
expand your SL system by adding network licensing,
Surpass Copycat,
Surpass Serials, or
Surpass Self-Check.
Should your collection grow beyond 5,000 volumes,
the upgrade path to Surpass
Select is easy.
