While the majority of the current listings are in North America, the numbers of libraries represented in other parts of the globe is growing. Each listing includes links to the library's website and online catalog. Other information available includes the geographic location, address, library type, current and previous library automation systems used, and the size of the library's collection. An advanced search is also available. The second directory is Library Companies, a database of library companies which provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive listing of companies that develop and market library automation systems. To be included in this resource, the company must offer a fully integrated library system, not just a single module other library-related services.
