Amlib is a comprehensive Library Management system owned by OCLC and distributed in Africa by Sabinet Online and its agents. It has been designed in Australia with the assistance of professional librarians, incorporating their requirements for a flexible and powerful tool to manage and process library information.
Amlib is a robust and proven system featuring intuitive, easy-to-use Web and Windows based interfaces, with the first Amlib customer live in 1994. Amlib is international with libraries worldwide, including public libraries and library services, special and corporate libraries, schools, academic and college libraries.
Amlib provides effective management of all library information, from borrower details to catalogue maintenance, while efficiently administering all forms of presentation — whether paper, electronic data, images or multi-media.
