The application consists of 3 environments:
- Catalogue: an internal environment, accessible to verified users, where the library catalogues and manages content
- Discover: the public access environment where collections are open for discovery through browse, search functions
-
Workflows and Functions: an internal environment where holdings,patrons, circulation services, reports and statistics are managed
Each tenant application feeds into the central public access openABEKT Catalogue, a public access discovery environment which collects and offers for search all content from all libraries using openABEKT, in a single interface. openABEKT central open access Catalogue offers multi-criteria and faceted search functions in all the aggregated catalogues.
