A modern ILS, intelligent acquisitions, federated discovery, self-service circulation and ILL — designed to work together because they were designed at the same time.
The traditional library stack is a chain of point tools: a supplier portal for ordering, a separate finance system for the encumbrance, an integrated library system for the cataloging, a discovery layer that wraps the catalog, a kiosk for self-service, and an ILL system bolted on the side. Each integration is hand-built and re-built every five years.
Accadema delivers the same chain as a single platform. Orders placed in Orin appear in Thelios as MARC the day they fulfil. New holdings surface in Atlas the same day they catalog. The patron at the Atena kiosk borrows the item the librarian just received. Everything is the same record.
Orders fulfilled in Orin appear in Thelios as MARC automatically. The librarian reviews, edits if needed, and publishes — no re-keying from supplier exports.
Atlas reads holdings and availability from the library system in real time. The patron's search shows the right number of copies and the right location.
The Atena kiosk handles routine loans on the floor. The librarian stays at the desk for the conversations that need a librarian.
Most libraries start with Thelios on the library system and one Atena kiosk in the main lobby. Up and running in under three months.
