Built by Librarians & Developers Who Live Libraries
AutoLibSys was created to solve real problems faced by librarians every day. It combines practical library experience with modern, secure web technology.
Focused on simplicity & reliability • Designed around real library workflows
Our Story & Vision
From a challenge in one library to a solution for many – AutoLibSys was born to make library automation simple, affordable, and librarian-friendly.
How AutoLibSys Started
AutoLibSys began when a group of librarians and software developers came together around a simple question: “Why is library software still so complicated?” Most systems were either too technical, too expensive, or not designed with real day-to-day library work in mind.
We started by listening carefully to librarians, assistants, and administrators – understanding how they issued books, tracked members, chased overdue items, and prepared reports. Then we built a clean, web-based system that fits naturally into those workflows instead of forcing people to change everything.
What We Focus On
- Librarian-first design: Screens and processes that make sense to non-technical users.
- Speed & accuracy: Fast book issuing, clear due dates, and reliable fine calculations.
- Clean data structure: Properly designed tables for books, members, transactions, and penalties.
- Flexible deployment: Cloud-hosted or standalone – whatever suits your environment.
- Smooth onboarding: Import from Excel, PDFs, or even photos of old registers.
Every module – from cataloging to penalties – was reviewed with working librarians and library staff.
Start simple with core circulation and add reports, analytics, and OPAC as your library grows.
Role-based access, clean session handling, and structured data – so your collection and members are protected.
Our Journey So Far
A continuous improvement story based on feedback from real libraries.
Milestones
First deployments in small libraries to refine issuing, returning, and member workflows.
Added a public search (OPAC) and powerful but simple reports for stock, circulation, and penalties.
Introduced admin, librarian, and member roles with flexible permissions and optional multi-branch setup.
Ongoing improvements in UI, security, analytics, and integrations based on day-to-day feedback.
Who We Work With
- Schools & Colleges: Academic libraries that need student-friendly search and clean reports for management.
- Hospitals & Training Centers: Libraries supporting nursing, medical, and allied health programmes.
- Department Libraries: Smaller units that want professional automation without huge budgets.
- Private & Community Libraries: Organizations focused on reading culture and easy member service.
No matter the setting, our goal is the same: make your library easier to run, so you can spend more time helping readers and less time fighting with software.
Our Core Values
We believe that technology should serve people – not the other way around. AutoLibSys is guided by a few simple but strong principles in every project we take.
- Respect for Librarians: Your experience and judgment are at the center of our design decisions.
- Clarity over Complexity: We prefer clear screens and simple workflows over unnecessary features.
- Responsibility with Data: Member and book data must be treated with care, privacy, and security.
- Continuous Improvement: Every deployment teaches us something – and we use it to improve the system.
