CARL Customers Rise to the Pandemic Challenge
TLC’s CARL•X™ Library Management Software customers are a knowledgeable, tight-knit group of libraries who are involved in developing CARL•X™ products to reflect their emerging needs. Prior to the conference, the CARL Customer Relations team organized a series of Post-Pandemic group video calls with CARL’s libraries to share ideas, strategies, and workflows regarding re-opening and providing curbside or hands-free services. This level of collaboration and idea sharing continued through the conference with customer-led sessions and roundtable discussions.

At Your (Data) Service
Years ago, TLC invented two data services that assisted libraries — regardless of ILS vendor — which were geared toward assisting customers to adjust to the development of RDA as a standard and the explosion of eBooks. Now, as libraries focus on the importance of discovery layers, RDAExpress and eBiblioFile have become important tools to libraries yet again.
