Accessit Library

What Accessit Library is

Accessit Library is a cloud-based library management system for tracking loans, returns and usage reports. It includes a Management App for staff and a student-facing Web App that can be accessed from anywhere. Web App search supports misspellings, truncated terms and phonetic spelling. Libraries can create book carousels, embed videos, podcasts and audiobooks, use school SSO and build dashboards. The system also tracks assets beyond books, including Chromebooks, cameras, drones, sports equipment, musical instruments and uniforms. Staff can issue and return books and equipment through iOS and Android apps. Integrations include student-management systems, content providers, AD/LDAP, SSO, RFID, SCIS, ClickView and Accelerated Reader. UK options include Wonde, Groupcall XoD and the iSAMS API, plus listed MIS systems. Accessit states that its platform is WCAG 2.1 AA compliant, uses secure cloud hosting on UK servers and provides automatic updates. Pricing is available on request, and third-party integration fees may apply. Its optional Kiosk requires Accessit Library as the core system.
