Overview

MicroLCS is a simple, easy to use and flexible OPAC and cataloging system. Though it is targeted for small libraries, its flexible and scalable design allows it to be used in libraries of any type. It is easy to manage and requires no third party software other than Java to run. The clean and simple user interface provides full boolean searching including nested searches and searches across all indexed fields. This search system can handle any arbitrarily complex boolean search with a power and flexibility not found in any other library system.
