What is PC Card Catalog?

The PC Card Catalog, our original system, is renowned for its intuitive design and ease of use. This software is packed with a variety of attractive features, all priced reasonably to accommodate even the tightest of budgets. Users can enjoy effortless editing, MARC import options, instant ISBN cataloging, and the ability to print lists, labels, catalog cards, barcodes, and donation plates. Its catalog search function adeptly finds items, providing 'best guess' results that account for typographical errors. Additionally, it features the highly regarded One Day Inventory tool, which simplifies the management of check-in/check-out processes, overdue items, fines, reservations, and patron entries—all within a single, cohesive interface. The program also includes context-sensitive help and a wealth of other tools to enhance user experience. For over 35 years, Library Concepts, a branch of Diakon Systems, has been meeting the automation needs of libraries. From our early DOS catalog card printing software to modern advanced solutions for Windows networks and the Web, we have continually offered user-friendly, reliable software options that are budget-conscious. Whether your library manages just a few hundred titles or tens of thousands, and whether it operates on a single computer or a complex network, we provide the perfect automation solution customized to your specific requirements. Libraries can confidently rely on us to significantly improve their operational efficiency and streamline their processes. Our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction sets us apart in the realm of library automation.
