Our Mission
To simplify the administration of the digital library
Commitment to OpenAccess
SemperTool is committed to Open Access. We recognize that access to quality research is essential to researchers and students all over the world and by simplifying the administration and integration of Open Access content into library systems we bring the world of OA research to our users.
Simplify library services
We believe that building streamlined library architectures is key to the effective operation of libraries to meet the needs of users.
The market for library services has a diverse number of players, each providing niche solutions, many with limited interoperability. The result is that libraries end up with a complex mix of softwares when building their service architectures.
We at SemperTool believe that this approach to library management is not only complex, expensive, time-consuming and ineffective – it is unnecessary.
Our approach is the development of a streamlined ‘suite’ of interoperable softwares built on a single platform that provide the complete range of library management and powerful end-user services, at the fraction of the cost of typical library systems.
Expand libraries in the developing nations
SemperTool is committed to delivering world-class services to institutions in developing countries. With a range of custom-built tools specifically designed to leverage content available through access programs, as well as technical solutions to maximize usage, we aim to provide systems that are powerful, effective and affordable.
