The ability to add electronic images, pictures and documents to catalogue records is a standard feature of
the Amlib system.

In addition you can automatically expand the content of your catalogue to include additional content such as
front covers, book reviews, table of contents and first chapters & excerpts.

The benefit of the automatic link to content enrichment from Syndetics, Content Café and Amazon.com is
that there is no manual update of content to existing catalogue records – the content is automatically
retrieved from the provider by Amlib when a borrower views the record in NetOpacs.

Amlib’s ZServer module enables your library to provide Z39.50 access to your Amlib database to other
libraries (and users) locally and worldwide -ideal for linking to other library consortiums using other library
software.
Amlib ZServer supports the Z39.50 version 3 standard, including display of holdings and circulation status
together with configurable security parameters for listening port and authentication level.

Federated Searching for Amlib provides access to a range of resources for everyday reference in one
