WebClarity Software Inc.’s BookWhere is a Z39.50 search client that allows users to search for metadata and cataloguing copy and export it in a variety of formats. Records can be saved to a file and imported into most library and citation management systems. Systems incorporating WebClarity's SEND-TO API can receive records directly and seamlessly. BookWhere provides simple and expert search capabilities using keyword, Boolean, and cross-index searching as well as browse.
Two levels of batch searching are supported: basic and enhanced (available with BookWhere Suite) where users can submit any number of searches across any number of databases. BookWhere uses unique heuristic record rating and scoring algorithms to help users pinpoint the most complete bibliographic records.
WebClarity manages the largest shared directory of databases in the world (currently 2900+). BookWhere products are able to automatically synchronize (AutoSync) with this central directory for new additions and changes on a regular basis ensuring the most timely and seamless access of any service.
Users can also add their own databases and define login details on any database making it possible to search specific subscription-only or password-controlled databases, such as those provided by OCLC or Library and Archives Canada. The end result is a consolidated search mechanism for all of your record sources, whether shared or subscription.
BookWhere Suite includes MARC record editing to assist with pre-processing. Routines can be performed against a single record, or a batch of records all at once. Macros can add, remove or append to tags and contain multiple iterations of these commands allowing you to in two quick keystrokes eliminate what might otherwise take multiple time-consuming steps. It supports multiple character encoding schemas and can facilitate conversion between them: utf-8 (Unicode), MARC-8 (ALA) and ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1).

Since 1989 Library Technologies, Inc. has authorized 200+ million bibliographic records for over one thousand domestic and international libraries. A client list is found on its web site and includes all types and sizes of libraries, using every ILS vendor. In addition to LC name (personal, corporate, conference, uniform titles and series) headings and LCSH topical and geographic headings, libraries may authorize LC Children's subjects, Sears subjects, and NLM MeSH subjects. Both "limited review" and full manual review authority control options are offered. For limited review processing, databases under one-half million catalog records usually take about three weeks to process. Following batch authority control, libraries may opt to receive FTP- and/or web-based continuing services for authorizing new cataloging and for keeping current with Library of Congress revisions. LTI also delivers a broad range of ancillary library database preparation services, including: duplicate record resolution; union catalog creation; item field builds specific to each local system vendor's requirements; smart and dumb photocomposed barcode labels; item field remaps preliminary to migration from one ILS to another; and custom bibliographic data projects.
