Eastern Shores Library System
Bookmobile
What is EasiCat?
EasiCat is the library system’s shared automated catalog and circulation system. It is one list of all the items owned by the bookmobile, the 13 public libraries in Ozaukee and Sheboygan Counties, and Lakeland College. Each library has independent circulation policies and procedures.
When did it arrive?
During 2001, all of the libraries converted their catalogs to one
shared automation system, EasiCat. Lakeland College was added to
EasiCat
in 2002. In 2008, EasiCat got a new look and is run by the software of
Polaris. Polaris is headquartered in Syracuse,
New York and has provided library automation for 30 years.
