Heritage for Legal Libraries
Heritage is ideal for use in Legal libraries. Following are just some of the reasons why!
- FREE remote installation of Heritage (or can be installed by local staff in less than 15 minutes).
- Annual support and upgrade costs which are substantially less than for equivalent systems.
- Upgrades can be trialled by creating a copy of your copy of Heritage to a stand-alone to upgrade first.
- A copy of your catalogue can be created in order to provide a training environment or practice global changes/deletions etc.
- Thesaurus import – Import and use thesauri such as Sweet & Maxwell from within the catalogue record form.
- Quickcat Online – download catalogue records from the British National Bibliography or Library of Congress directly into the Heritage catalogue record.
- Sophisticated Serials Management facility, including routing lists, journal indexing and the ability to adjust subscription information directly from the serial receipts form.
- Heritage Online – Online version of OPAC and circulation facilities including self-issue at end-users’ desks. Ability to integrate with products such as Sharepoint and Moodle.
- FREE book covers facility, providing book cover images for your catalogue automatically.
- Inter-operability with existing systems via SIP2, ODBC, LDAP, Z39.50 etc.
- Event Scheduler – Schedule processes such as the creation of reports, sending of overdue notices etc so they are generated automatically.
- Attention to Detail – provides helpful facilities such as URL checker, spellchecker and Dates facility (where reports can be produced outlining administration duties e.g. “all items expiring this week” etc).
- The longevity of both the company and the product, and the excellent customer retention figures we enjoy, are evidence of our good reputation.
- Heritage is specifically designed to provide a clear, uncluttered and user-friendly layout, which we believe is incredibly important to those who use it on a day-to-day basis. We believe that design is often overlooked by our competitors, setting Heritage apart.
- We are committed to development for the future, and the provision of free upgrades to our customers as part of our standard support service.
- We are working on a fully web-based version of Heritage which will be offered as a free upgrade to customers running Heritage Online and with a valid support contract – we are not aware of any other supplier that has done this.
- We offer a portfolio of remote support services, which we can provide securely.
- We provide each customer with a Support Guide, a named support contact who will contact you proactively to ensure you are happy with Heritage and our services.
- We believe that our excellent reputation is proof of our commitment to both our product and our customers, as this can only be attained after many years of a consistently high quality product and service.
"Good value .... the best we saw for managing serials. We are able to offer a more efficient service to our lawyers, so that they can respond promptly to clients. Heritage Online provides our lawyers with desktop access to our catalogue and they can quickly find out which books are available."
