Surpass library automation software is now streamlined especially for churches, synagogues, and other places of worship. For both new and well-established libraries, Surpass CL provides professional quality in a volunteer-friendly package.
Cataloging
Simply scan the book’s ISBN barcode (or enter by hand) and let Surpass CL find the cataloging information on the Internet, when available. There is little or no typing, and volunteers easily learn how to help.
Circulation
With an automated library, you won’t need cumbersome signout notebooks. Fully-automate circulation or, when the library is unattended, have patrons leave barcoded pocket cards for later scanning. Surpass CL includes a feature for patrons to check-out on their own using a mouse or touch-screen monitor.
Patron catalog
Eliminate your card catalog (or book list notebook) when you automate your catalog with Surpass CL Safari. Your members can browse for materials by title, author, subject, keyword, and category.
Customize searching to quickly take your patrons to special topics in your library, such as devotions, church history, or evangelism.
