Librarika
Librarika is a hosted cloud library system for cataloguing collections, managing circulation, and publishing an online public access catalog for members. Cataloguing tools include ISBN-based Smart Add, bulk import and export, and bibliographic data integration with OpenLibrary. Members can check items in and out, reserve items, and queue for checked-out materials. Libraries can manage multiple branches in one system. The feature list includes SIP2 connections for kiosks and RFID systems, SAML single sign-on with providers including Azure AD, Google, and Okta, and widgets for library websites. iOS and Android apps support catalog browsing, holds, self-service checkout, notifications, and library management. A desktop self-service kiosk app is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, but requires a SIP2 license. The free Basic plan includes 2,000 records, unlimited patrons, staff, and check-outs, an OPAC, and email reminders. Basic Pro costs $139 a year. E-book hosting is a separate add-on, not included in plans.
