1 Additional Patron OPAC License

Each installation of ResourceMate® includes the OPAC (Online Public Access Catalogue). It is not necessary to purchase a license for computers that have a full copy of ResourceMate® installed on them.

Your OPAC license can either be used as a per station license or as a simultaneous license. Per station and simultaneous licenses can be intermixed. Simultaneous licenses are great when you have 30 stations that need to search but you know that only 5 or 10 might actually be searching at the same time. You would purchase 5 or 10 licenses instead of 30.

Note: Simultaneous licenses will not guarantee access to running the OPAC, it will depend on demand. For computers that should always have OPAC access, you would indicate that they would be station licenses. This way computers dedicated to OPAC use in the library will always have access. This allows more flexibility in the way that your computers access the OPAC program. The first time the OPAC is run you will indicate if it is a dedicated station or a simultaneous access station.

Additional OPAC (Online Public Access Catalogue) licenses are a low-cost solution to allowing several people throughout your organization to search the library/collection.

This bundle comes with One Additional Patron OPAC which is an ideal addition to a classroom, for example, or an associate's office. Using Patron Search Screens ensures that your library users cannot edit or delete your library data; they can only search.
