Notas del editor
An ILS usually comprises a relational database, software to interact with that database, and two graphical user interfaces (one for patrons, one for staff). Most ILSes separate software functions into discrete programs called modules, each of them integrated with a unified interface. Examples of modules might include:acquisitions (ordering, receiving, and invoicing materials)cataloging (classifying and indexing materials)circulation (lending materials to patrons and receiving them back)serials (tracking magazine and newspaper holdings)the OPAC (public interface for users)Each patron and item has a unique ID in the database that allows the ILS to track its activity.
open source software may be free, a developer or distributor may charge for services, including special programming, installation, training, and technical support.
