Lib.Steps – Real Time Searching

Real-Time

Searching

Solution that integrates library research into a single platform, allowing users expedient access to pertinent information.

Lib.Steps is a real-time search tool that integrates all information services in a single portal. Queries are made in full text with no need for metadata or limited keywords, allowing for Lib.Steps to integrate information from the smallest to largest institutions around the globe. There’s no need for librarians or publishers to submit metadata or any additional information. The system uses artificial intelligence (AI) to perform queries of full text in real-time. Publications can be found in the same second that they are made public, regardless of the size and type of the information service (catalog, repository, open access, or subscribed platform).

The Lib.Steps search engine has allowed us to integrate all our databases in a single place; such as the catalog, the journal portal, the institutional repository and the photographic archives, subscribed databases and open access resources. We think about the user experience, that's why we think about Lib.Steps

The Cardenal Darío Castrillón Hoyos Library of the Catholic University of Pereira has incorporated the Lib.Steps (discoverer) tool which responds mainly to our needs in the process of searching and retrieving information, a friendly and easy-to-use system. There is also a good human support that provides technical assistance and training.

Libsteps is a discovery tool that has functioned much better than any other discovery tool we have ever used. First of all, being a robot that executes searches in real time on all the resources associated with it, it frees my team from the tedious task of updating records in the discovery services indexes, and any changes made to our database. Bibliographic data is immediately reflected and available to the user. On the other hand, the post-sale service provided by the ITMS Group team is very reliable and efficient, which has allowed us to configure it according to our needs and in the event of any eventuality, the response is very fast.

As the Coordinator of Collections Management of the CRAI of the PUJ Cali, I consider that Libsteps has constituted as an effective tool for the recovery of the information contained in our OPAC, Repository and subscribed databases. A point to highlight is the effectiveness of the assistance technique provided and the high response capacity on the part of the resource providers On the other hand, the post-sale service provided by the ITMS Group team is very reliable and efficient, which has allowed us to configure it according to our needs and in the event of any eventuality, the response is very fast.

LibSteps has helped our users find information more quickly and effectively. We love that the contents are 100% recovered, without delays or embargoes. It is an easy system to handle for the user, and the best thing is, we do not require a library staff in charge of configuring the contents. LibSteps is synonymous with fluency! On the other hand, the post-sale service provided by the ITMS Group team is very reliable and efficient, which has allowed us to configure it according to our needs and in the event of any eventuality, the response is very fast.
