We are continually enhancing product features in partnership with our librarians. Following are some major developments along the way.

2010, January: CyberTools Announces Strong (>10%) New-Client Growth, Stable Fees. Solid expansion of the CyberTools community continued in 2009 thanks in large part to the good word of users to their colleagues. This growth is particularly noteworthy during a challenging economic climate. An increasing number of new clients chose to migrate to CyberTools in 2009 from other systems. Meanwhile, CyberTools elects to keep its service fees stable again in 2010, marking a period of ten years during which CyberTools implemented only one price increase, even as it continues to expand its base product and services suite.

Librarians can leave the session momentarily without disturbing the class, and entire library staff, even consortia, can train together cost-effectively. The CyberTools trainer provides sample exercises, and encourages questions for an engaging, interactive session.

Any catalog with a Z39.50 server may be selected for the download, expanding the user’s resources to most major academic libraries. The user can also enhance bibs using either an easy template of common fields, or with a comprehensive MARC editor.
