The software solution for small libraries was designed as an affordable solution for automation of the main business processes of a school library or any library of similar size. It offers almost the same core functionality as ProLibis does and thus can be considered as a “light” version of ProLibis. The solution designed for small libraries does not use licensed products provided by third parties with the exception of PostgreSQL as relational database system and Apache as HTTP Server (under LGPL licensing).
