They search the actual curriculum outcome and get the exact titles that match. One fixed fee. Everything included. Asset management, self-checkout circulation, mobile stocktake, and thousands of built-in reports. Automatic class overdues to homeroom teachers, stocktakes that count themselves, one-click cataloguing from third-party sites. So simple, you don't need a library degree to run it. unlimited one-on-one support is included. Book free 40min sessions anytime. ## What is SmartSuite Library used for?
