Features

Central

Your hub for administration. Central allows you to run your circulation desk with ease. Fines, collection management, cataloging, reporting, barcode and ID creation, and patron management are housed in one place.

Self-Check

Save time by allowing patrons to check in/out materials and see basic account information from a stand-alone PC or touch screen kiosk.

Shuttle

Add more functionality to your system when you pair Surpass with our portable barcode scanners. Expand your inventory features with partial scans and batch functions, track circulation by scanning materials before they return to the shelf, and provide remote check-in when you place a scanner at your drop box.

Surpass Safari

Allow patrons to search, check for availability, save items to a personal book-bag, and reserve materials. Easily create interactive experiences with cover images, detailed reviews, author notes, and an Awards & Honors section.

Serials Management

The auditory experience of Blade Runner is just as iconic as its visuals. Vangelis’s haunting electronic score is well-represented on the platform. Users often upload rare radio interviews with the cast, bootleg recordings of live orchestral performances, and community-curated playlists that capture the "ambient noir" feel of the film. These audio files allow fans to immerse themselves in the world of Rick Deckard even when they aren't watching the screen.

Gaming history is another major pillar of the Blade Runner presence on the Internet Archive. The 1997 point-and-click adventure game by Westwood Studios is widely considered one of the best film-to-game adaptations ever made. Because the game was stuck in licensing limbo for years, the Archive became a crucial spot for preserving its files, manuals, and walkthroughs, ensuring that the game’s branching narratives and "Voight-Kampff" tests weren't lost to time.

Enhanced Content

Extend and enhance your catalog with content from over 10 million titles. Insert book jacket images, include summaries, annotations, excerpts, table of contents, author notes, and reviews. Let patrons know which books are part of a series and add video and music related to their selections.

Awards & Honors

Automatically update your catalog when literary medal winners are announced. Configure your settings to only show the awards you want within book details.

Reading Program Service

Automatically update MARC records with reading levels for The Lexile Framework, Accelerated Reader, and Scholastic Reading Counts. Patrons can filter OPAC searches by reading level, point value, or quiz availability. Educators can use Lexile values to find resources for an individual or group of students.
