Now libraries can benefit from a full suite of support services from the Professional and Library Services (PLS) Division of TLC CARL East (S) PTE LTD.

Cost-effective next generation functionality   Request Information
The PLS Division uses a next generation library system built on the CARL.XTM (pdf) open technology foundation to offer hosted Library Management Services (LMS). This hosted model makes integrated library system software available via the Internet, without requiring special software on your library's computers. Your library avoids the overhead costs associated with implementing a system within the actual library. You'll conserve budget funds while utilizing sophisticated library automation functionality.

The hosted CARL.XTM library management services software offers rich functionality that streamlines staff workflows and opens new dimensions for searching, discovering, patron self-services, and data mining. The system includes:

• all classic ILS functions (Online Public Access Catalog, Cataloging and Authority Control, Serials Control, Circulation, and Holds)
• Web-based acquisitions with TLC's unique Online Selection and AcquisitionsTM (pdf) service
