Enhance every PC in your building by allowing a simple, unified access to virtually any resource in your library, PLUS, an array of built-in features, such as quick email, patron wayfinding and more.

To quickly learn about this unique system, take a look at a quick Slide Show (separate window)

The system comes with a client software that you can load on all of your PCs. Public use, Staff - everywhere. The client is always resident and is invoked by a simple glide over with the mouse. Once invoked, you can provide one-button access to any of your existing resources, regardless if they are on that same computer, or on the web.

Unified Access to your Resources

Once evoked, the L-Guide Client™ allows you to define custom buttons or LAT-QuickButtons™ to provide access to any resources.

For example:

• Have quick access to common areas
  (exits or nearest bathroom, for example), or

• Go to any site on the web such as your on-line calendar, online database or a job site, or

• Run other applications, such as the PC reservation systems, Print Manager, Office Application, anything

Define buttons anything you wish Buttons can access the web, run an application or provide directions anywhere in the building and more You control everything Every computer can be defined differently

A unique web-based system designed to map and guide your patrons to any point in your library. Its like a GPS for your facility, which provides detailed map directions to anywhere in your library... plus... a lot more!

Dynamic Navigation

Here are some real-world examples that anyone can get an answer with a click of a button:

Where is the "Fiction" area?
Where do I find this book?
How do I get to the Reading Room?
Where are your bathrooms?
Where do you have large-print books?
How do I find call number 133.234?
...and more

Deliver detailed directions FROM any point TO any point in your library.

Where are the copiers?
How do I get to the AV area?
Where are the bathrooms?
Where are tax forms?
How do I find "JKR 345.31" book?

With a simple, web-based administrative interface you can define floor maps, points and directions to virtually any point in your library, including the location to ANY item in your collection or even outside the building if you want. Simple, easy and powerful.

Run Marketing or Promotion Campaigns

Want to promote your latest activities, classes or efforts? Want to maybe allow local businesses to advertise (and provide library additional revenues) to your patrons in a controlled and timed manner?

Now you can, easily with L-Guide™ - simply define your marketing / promotional details via a secured administrative web panel and all of your material will be distributed to client systems. The messaging will appear in a separate window.

"It's a marketing machine in a bottle"

On-The-Fly Emailing

We have often been asked by our customers to provide some limited ability for patrons to quickly send emails. That is, let's say someone is researching a topic on one of the public-use machines, and sees an article they like. How can they email that to themselves without logging in (on a public PC) on to their account (assuming they have it and know it).

Now they can, simply click on "Quick Email" on the
L-Guide™ Client and an email and send. Easy, Simply and Quick.

(For the doom-sayers in the audience: We have built-in controls to make sure that this capability could not be used for any type of abuse or bulk e-mailing - thanks for asking :)

System Core Operation

The server system is completely web based and allows you to define your floorplan(s), the destination points (nodes) and the paths between them. Yo also provide details on the directions from point-to-point with various choices of defining each node. You then assign names or "aliases" to each of the nodes.

The system comes with a client software that you can load on all of your PCs. The client is always resident and is invoked by a simple glide over with the mouse. Once invoked, you can type anything (just like Google) and the system will generate DYNAMIC guidance for you or take advantage of the QuickButtons™ discussed above.
