Oswego BOCES School Library System
OSWEGO BOCES School Library System supports the OPALS resource-sharing, union catalog initiative. Our School Library System provides access and facilitates resource sharing for schools in our learning and teaching communities.
We also support and host OPALS open source software for many of our school libraries, providing Web-based, day-to-day management and access to authentic information resources customized to each school’s needs.
Oswego BOCES School Library System was one of seven regions that helped to develop “SEARCH” a single login, information database management system that aggregates all subscription databases on one page, provides easy in-library and remote login access to all of them, and consolidates use-statistics reports.

”Thanks to OPALS, 85-90% of our incoming back-office tasks are now smoothly handled automatically – against the former only 10%. We did not experience any troubling side-effects of any kind during/after implementation”
Bazh-GFx Academic Librarian”I can't believe that in an era like this I can still pick up the phone and get connected right away with people who are directly running the business and solve the problem right then and there. It is so rare and I deeply appreciate that! I will reach out to a few other small schools in my area and let them know about your company!”
