Horizon Integrated Library System Users expect more. Horizon Integrated Library System Delivers.  Dynix meets the needs of any library type with a suite of products centered on the Horizon Integrated Library System. Featuring a core library management tool and an array of complementary products and features, this system delivers libraries capabilities in many areas:
Horizon Launcher Brings the whole Horizon system to your desktop as a single application. Improved navigation takes users directly to functions they need, less time is spent navigating menus. Horizon now functions as a multi-document interface (MDI) with each major function occurring as a window in the main Launcher frame. Launcher settings follow the user (by being tied to a user's login) instead of being tied to a particular workstation. Special launcher profiles can be created for specific functions, and profiles are fully customizable. Staff Searching The primary interactive link between staff and the library collection. It consists of user-oriented query functions for search and retrieval of bibliographic database records. Staff Searching interacts with the authority records and interfaces with multiple library subsystems, such as circulation, serials, and cataloging. It connects the system, local and wide area networks, and other computer systems via Z39.50. Horizon Web Reporter A simple new tool for standard reports, ready to use without the library staff having to know the database schema or SQL scripts and commands. Standard reports can be modified and saved for sharing with other library staff or other Dynix libraries. Horizon Cataloging provides tools that enable librarians to more easily maintain Horizon's bibliographic database. This module includes Z39.50 client software for interoperability, a MARC editor styled after a word processor, and a Best Seller/Hot Picks feature that flags the most popular items in the database. Horizon Circulation simplifies check-in and checkout functions for your staff, as well as receipt-printer software, import/export of user data, notifications, a self-service checkout interface, a material handling interface, inventory control, and reciprocal borrowing. Also included in this module is Offline Circulation for backup functionality. Horizon Serials Control has the capability to predict and receive publications. But it doesn't stop at prediction. Once the issue is received, your library can allow your users to search for the material either through Horizon Information Portal or have the item physically routed to the requester. Our Serials module has been fine tuned from predictions to claiming and more. Horizon Acquisitions enable your staff to order new items online and speed them into circulation via the X12, EDIFACT, and EDI ordering standards. Also included is an interface for obtaining electronic selections and use statistics. Path to Horizon from Dynix ILS Who has migrated more library systems off of Dynix ILS than any other vendor?
