SCIS Web and CD Cataloguing
SCIS provides a central database that schools can use to download resource cataloguing data (just by zapping in the ISBN of a resource) that can be inloaded and edited very easily.  This is a huge time saver even for fussy cataloguers. The USMARC file created during the process is easily inloaded and the results filtered for further editing and hidden from catalogue searches until they are completed (View SCIS website).

SCIS Authority Files
The SCIS Authority files which are a list of valid SCIS subject headings can be inloaded to the Thesaurus part of the LibCode Suite.  LibCode provides cross-referenced access to the headings from a Key Learning Area aspect and from a refined Library of Congress aspect… very impressive cross-referencing.

SMS Data / OneSchool (CSV – comma separated variable length text file)
Student details in the Schools administration database OneSchool can be used to update LibCode Suite borrowers file.  This includes the EQ Enrolment number and personal details enabling the generation of overdue letters on school letter head.  This format was created for use in Qld State Schools but can be used by any administration software that can export data in comma delimited format.

MAZE Data (Tab delimited (or separated) text file)
Used by a number of non government schools, the MAZE student information can also be inloaded into LibCode Suite for the administration of borrower details.  Again, this is simply a Tab delimited text file format which can be used by any administration software that can export Tab delimited text files.

SAS Data (Tab delimited (or separated) text file)
Used by a number of non government schools, the SAS student information can also be inloaded into LibCode Suite for the administration of borrower details.  Again, this is simply a Tab delimited text file format which can be used by any administration software that can export Tab delimited text files.

USMARC Data
The abilitity to inload and export USMARC data allows for the easy use of other library / cataloguing databases as sources of resource data.  The SCIS downloadable catalogue service is a prime example of the usefulness of this feature.

Windows Default Printers
LibCode Suite utilises the Windows default printer although most reports allow you to change the printer setup if necessary.  For instructions please refer to ‘Printing from LibCode Suite’.

Various Data Outloads
The ability to outload data in several text file formats allow you to use the data in LibCode for other purposes if necessary
