Libraries are faced with a variety of constantly changing issues today. Organization is key in a department going through constant changes. Content Innovations can help you get a handle on your immediate issues and create a plan to actively manage the changing state of your library.

· Systems analysis : We analyze your organization's activity (the entire library or one system, such as your circulation system) and make recommendations for improvement. Systems analyses are performed through interviews (staff, users, management) and review of documentation, systems,and procedures. The end product is a report with recommendations for short and long term changes. Our Systems Analysis reports are authored to integrate with your organization's strategic planning activities.

· Standards:As experienced librarians we are familiar with the benefits and challenges of implementing to accomodate computing and library standards such as MARC, LC, Dewey classification, AHIP and Art and Architecture Thesaurus.

· Enhancements : Enhancements to library systems and services can often bring much needed positive attention from users.

Search Enabled Document Repositories: We can search enable your existing content repositories, even create a reference questions database from your saved e-mail.

Smart Catalog Records: Embedded URLs, tables of contents, cover art, thorough cataloging of online resources, and a web/intranet interface can greatly enhance your catalog.

Automated Circulation & Barcoding/RFID: We can help you implement automated circulation systems, including self-check, retrospective barcoding, and portable barcoding solutions.

Training and Documentation: New procedures and systems need training. Content Innovations can write procedures manuals and provide group or one-on-one training on your existing systems. We also include training on upgrades to your systems. If your systems don’t work for your staff, our work isn’t finished!
