OLEFA-IMMS offers a flexible database architecture that has been fully optimized to realize powerful library and archiving solutions, including many modern features like barcode support and automated image processing (for photo libraries for example). The database engine of OLEFA-IMMS can be adapted in a go to the needs, workflows an local context of an organization, thus allowing them to provide outstanding services to their customer-base. 

Data entry (basic informations and metadata) is automated at a high extend and the timely effort to capture large media collections is reduced to a minimum. By using a barcode scanner it is possible for OLEFA-IMMS to find all the information concerning a media on the Internet (title, author(s), publisher, ISBN, title, ... ) and directly store it in the database. 
Once the media are stored in the database, it is possible to make it available in an Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC). Visitors can search for media and members can make reservations. Readers can rate books they have read, write comments, recommendations and reviews and share those with others.

Powerful search mechanisms allow administrators and visitors to quickly find the resources they need.

The statistical and administrative functions allow administrators to have an overview over the stock of media, borrowed media, loans which are overdue, etc. .... Administrators can send out reminders to borrowers, take inventories, etc
Training of staff is reduced to a minimun, as the user-interface is straightforward and set up with the customer in order to match with his organizational processes.

The OPAC is intergrated in a very attractive modern website respecting your coporate identity. A very user-friendly content-management gives every organization full control and autonomy of all aspects of its website.
