Multimedia

For those who have not yet worked with it: the browser is an incredibly smart tool. In conjunction with the Intranet Server, this sorts out the problem of viewing a lot of formats itself. If, in the course of a query, it appears that photos, for example, are important, then it will see from the extension which program it should start running to display them. If it comes across a PDF file, then Adobe Acrobat Reader will start to run. With sound files and video files the same applies: the correct player is started. The technology chosen offers you as the end user these enormous advantages as standard.

The E-mail link

This may be one of the most important aspects of Bibis LMS in day-to-day terms. This messaging layer prevents time being wasted unnecessarily on the phone (not to mention the personal visits) and works directly, from logical locations in the search program. The library is able to have orders or reservations come to one specific e-mail address, or mail from there. Other possible uses of e-mail could include reminders and notices. It is an extraordinarily fast way of linking knowledge and people together. Similarly, e-mail can also be selected as the 'printer' so as to channel information about orders etc. directly to the supplier.

The office suite

No matter what the environment is, be it Microsoft or something else, there is always a facility for making links within the office suite. Select, copy or paste, in Bibis LMS everything is linked together. If there is a list of title descriptions in HTML on your screen, you can copy it and paste it into a Word document. But it could just as easily be printed to file, or be exported to Excel. This means that the time-consuming task of writing editors for layouts is definitely a thing of the past. It is all contained in the existing technology.
