Services

Everything you need to put your collection online

Eight focused service lines that work together — pick one, or let us deliver the full stack and host it for you.

Complete Digital Library

Every part of a modern library, delivered and managed as one platform.

Our flagship package brings the whole digital library together: a branded catalogue, an institutional repository, one unified discovery search across all of it, private analytics, and off-campus access to your subscribed databases. We deploy, brand, connect and manage the entire stack, so your readers get a single modern front door and your team gets one supported platform. This is the full system behind the NDU Digital Library.

Unified discovery search (VuFind) across every collection
Library catalogue (Koha) and institutional repository (DSpace)
Private, self-hosted analytics (Matomo) with monthly reports
Off-campus remote-access gateway to subscribed databases
Branded, mobile-first, installable, and fully managed

Library Automation (Koha)

Modern, branded online catalogues (OPACs) on the open-source Koha ILS.

We deploy and customise the Koha integrated library system for schools, universities and specialised institutions. Each library gets a fast, mobile-first online public access catalogue (OPAC) with live New-Arrivals, Most-Borrowed and Featured carousels, cover art, an 'Ask a Librarian' channel, and a matching staff client.

Branded, responsive OPAC redesign per institution
Live carousels, cover images & faceted search
Progressive Web App (installable, offline-ready)
Staff client setup & cataloguing support
Patron, circulation & acquisitions configuration

Institutional Repositories (DSpace)

DSpace 8 digital repositories for theses, research output and archives.

We stand up and brand DSpace 8 repositories so universities can preserve and showcase their research — theses, dissertations, journals and institutional records — with open-access discovery, OAI-PMH harvesting and per-institution theming on a shared, efficiently-run platform.

DSpace 7.x → 8.x migration & upgrades
Custom Angular theme per university
Open-access discovery & full-text search
OAI-PMH & metadata standards
Multi-instance hosting that shares infrastructure

Discovery Layer (VuFind)

One search across every catalogue, repository and open-access source.

We build a unified discovery layer on the open-source VuFind platform that lets readers search all of an institution's collections at once (multiple library catalogues, institutional repositories and curated open-access sources) from a single branded search box. Catalogues stay independent, and new records flow in automatically.

Unified search across catalogues, repositories and open access
Automatic nightly sync from Koha and DSpace
Open-access harvesting: journals, theses, reports, doctrine
Branded, mobile-first, installable as a Progressive Web App
An Ask a Librarian channel and dynamic cover art

Web Analytics (Matomo)

Private, self-hosted analytics for your library and websites.

We deploy Matomo, the leading open-source, privacy-first analytics platform, on your own server. See real visits, searches, popular titles and devices without handing your users' data to third parties: cookieless, IP-anonymised and GDPR-friendly. Automatic monthly PDF reports by email are included.

Self-hosted, so your data never leaves your server
Cookieless and IP-anonymised (no consent banner needed)
Per-site dashboards plus an all-sites roll-up
Automatic monthly PDF reports by email
Site-search insight: see what readers look for

Remote Access Gateway

Off-campus access to your subscribed databases.

We set up an authenticated remote-access gateway, an open-source alternative to EZproxy, so staff and students can reach your subscribed databases and e-resources from anywhere using their library login, while access stays controlled and IP-registered.

Hosting & Managed Support

We run the servers, SSL, backups, monitoring and renewals so you don't.

Every system we deliver can be fully hosted and managed by us. We handle the VPS, Apache, Let's Encrypt SSL, automated backups, monitoring, security hardening and subscription renewals — and we operate a central management portal that auto-discovers every Koha and DSpace instance we run.
