SirsiDynix Customers Go Live on BLUEcloud Cataloging

November 24th, 2014

LEHI, Utah (Nov 24, 2014)—SirsiDynix announced today that BLUEcloud Cataloging is now available. Designed to easily accommodate new media and technology, BLUEcloud Cataloging increases staff efficiency and expedites the process of enhancing bibliographic data.

“BLUEcloud Cataloging offers powerful features to libraries which supplement our core product cataloging modules. These features were shaped with robust input from our customers,” said Melissa Kulmer, Product Manager for BLUEcloud Cataloging.

298 customers from SirsiDynix’s Strategic Partner Program and 27 pilot sites have contributed feedback to the production of BLUEcloud Cataloging, allowing many more customers to benefit from the product’s current availability. As product feedback continues to grow, additional product enhancements will be made to further meet customer needs.

“One of the things I really like about BLUEcloud Cataloging is that it’s allowing me to get more staff involved with cataloging because the process has become so user friendly,” said Jake Rundle, Collections Librarian at Hastings Public Library. “Copy cataloging is as simple as a click of a button. I see this as a great step forward in making the whole process faster at my library.”

As part of the BLUEcloud Suite, BLUEcloud Cataloging delivers the benefits of modern cloud architecture while building upon the core ILS features of Horizon and Symphony. BLUEcloud Cataloging also comes as part of a library’s regular ILS maintenance, adding value without adding cost.

“All of our BLUEcloud products are created with the user in mind and BLUEcloud Cataloging is no exception”, said SirsiDynix CEO, Bill Davison. “BLUEcloud Cataloging provides an easy-to-use, time-saving toolset for cataloging functions and comes at no additional cost to SirsiDynix customers. We’re excited to receive positive feedback from our pilot customers, and we look forward to the release of additional BLUEcloud modules in the near future.”

Customers seeking more information about BLUEcloud Cataloging should log in to the SirsiDynix Support Center or contact their SirsiDynix representative.
