WanderCollections

With Wander's acquisition module, you can effortlessly manage your budgets, suppliers and orders. You place orders for books and journals and track subscriptions through clear publishing and frequency patterns. This way, you know exactly what issue is expected when, clearly and efficiently.

With this archives module you describe your archives according to international standards such as ISAD(G) and ISAAR(CPF). Wander supports EAD and EAC formats for exchanging records and authorities. Documents such as manuscripts, photographs, letters, audiovisual material and registers can be recorded separately via data models based on heritage standards and art objects such as SPECTRUM and CDWA. You can easily connect them to archive descriptions and export them in various export formats such as Dublin Core. The module for item descriptions can also be used separately from archival descriptions and is then perfect for managing heritage collections.

Wander supports authorities for entities such as people, organizations, geographical terms, subjects, and domain-specific terminology such as the Art & Architecture Thesaurus® (AAT®). This way, your database remains consistent, reliable and easily searchable. In an archival context, more fields become visible so that authorities based on the ISAAR standard are possible and you are always working in accordance with international guidelines.

Whether it's audiovisual material, psychological test materials, 3D printers or workstations, Wander allows you to describe these assets in a tailored form. Just like for books, these assets can be offered in a comprehensive catalog with the option to reserve them for use in the future.

With Wander's cataloging module you can describe your library materials: from old books to audiovisual media. And that in accordance with international standards such as RDA. You create a description “from scratch” or you copy an existing description from another library in the Wander network or outside. You can easily import and export via XML (including MARC21 and MODS) or SQLite.

Using the Cometa model, subsets of your library collection can be described in the collection descriptions module. Collection descriptions are linked to specific copies, providing additional context or a new look at your collection.

Have you digitized (part of) your collection? Then Wander offers a digital platform to support your digitization process. The end result are customized IIIF manifestos that help your target audience to easily discover or study your collection. This is how your heritage or knowledge collection comes to life, online, accessible and user-friendly.

More and more libraries do not manage physical materials, but offer access to digital resources through licensing from publishers and agents. Wander's ERM module helps you to manage those licensing agreements and electronic publications in a clear way so that you can focus on what really matters: providing access to knowledge.

With the helpdesk and info desk from Wander, you can effortlessly streamline communication. The helpdesk connects your team with the Wander team, while the info desk forms the bridge between your employees and end users. Both work in the same intuitive way: questions come in via a form or email, are automatically registered and managed centrally. The administrator can follow up, reply or forward each message to a colleague. Meanwhile, the sender is automatically informed about the status of their request.

With the loan module from Wander, you can manage loans, renewals and returns easily and efficiently. You send reminders via mail, email, and fines are calculated automatically. Each library can tailor the module to its own policy. Thanks to the SIP2 protocol, Wander also works smoothly with self-service terminals.

With Wander, you can register and manage stacks and shelves. You get a clear overview of available free space and can optimally organize your storage. Thanks to the intuitive interface, you can quickly and reliably find the right repository or item you are looking for. This module is already operational for archives and heritage systems and will soon also be available for libraries.

In the public catalog provided by Wander can search both physical and digital collections. You can search in a targeted way, compile your own extensive queries, or browse the different collection types that Wander supports.

With My Library give your end users a personal online environment. Via their own login, they can:

• review and renew their loans;
• make reservations;
• request publications (including from other libraries);
• make requests from the stacks;
• manage alert profiles;
• and amend their personal information.

Everything simple, safe and user-friendly. Exactly how they expect it.
