The Plus version of ResourceMate®
has all the features of the Regular version
with these extra features:
- Distributed Entry
of Items
This feature allows multiple people (volunteers) to install ResourceMate®
on their home computers, enter items and patrons and transfer them to
the main computer via diskette, usb flash drive, cd or e-mail attachment.
The person in charge of the library will then take the volunteer's file
and merge those entered items into the main database.
- Bar Coding
Simplify the process of circulating items by using a bar code scanner.
Bar
code labels and scanners are not included with ResourceMate®
Plus. Choose between three bar code configurations:
- 1) a 14-digit number,
with the first digit being a '3' for item bar codes or a '2' for
patron bar codes; the final digit is a mod10 check digit
- 2) a generic numeric
format with no check digit that can vary in length from 1 to 20-digits.
- 3) a generic numeric
format similar to 2) but bar codes beginning with a letter(s)

bar code labels are available from
us or from several popular library supply companies.
