Programming

Novare Library Services can write customized programs to help you innovate, streamline and modernize your library. An example of custom programming done by Novare Library Services was Ask-a-Librarian’s SMS Reference Service. Using Twilio, an Open Source application, allowed Novare Library Services to bring SMS reference to Florida's statewide virtual reference service while saving the state a lot of money. For example, the Tampa Bay Library Consortium, the company managing the service, only pays 1 cent per message, which averages about $4.42/month or $53/ year. (Source: http://goo.gl/6YA7Y)

Novare Library Services can create stand-alone programs, web-based programs or enhancements to existing software and programs like OPACs etc.
