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.

Download free MARC records from our preconfigured list of over 300 libraries. Connect and search multiple libraries at once. View and edit the MARC record prior to export and save records to a standard MARC for importation into any library automation system.

GoCirc Mobile Circulation

Our free companion app enables you to perform circulation duties such as, check-in/outs, renewals, and patron status checks from virtually any mobile device. Plus, connect your mobile device to a barcode scanner via Bluetooth.

SIP Server

Skip importing and exporting files, with SIP Server your information is always live. Patron username and password changes are updated instantly within the e-book system. Account Status is honored, so your SIP server will know if e-book check-outs should be denied due to expired/disabled patron accounts, too many overdue items, or fines.

Self-Check

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.

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.

Guide: Leveraging Survivor Stories in Awareness Campaigns

Format Tips:

First-person or third? First-person (“I”) is more powerful for empathy; third-person (“she”) is safer for anonymity or legal reasons.
Trigger warnings: Always label content that contains descriptions of violence, abuse, or self-harm. Example: “Content warning: sexual assault.”
Always include resources: At the end of any story, list a helpline, website, or action step.

5. Campaign Examples: When Survivor Stories Worked

| Campaign | Issue | How They Used Survivor Stories | Impact | |----------|-------|--------------------------------|--------| | #MeToo (2017) | Sexual violence | Millions shared “Me too” – short, solidarity-based stories. Normalized disclosure. | Cultural shift; hundreds of perpetrators named; laws changed. | | Dove Real Beauty | Body image / eating disorders | Survivors of negative body image shared their journeys. | Increased self-esteem metrics; brand loyalty; sparked global conversation. | | HIV Stigma Campaign (U=U) | HIV/AIDS | Undetectable survivors shared stories of healthy dating & childbirth. | Reduced medical stigma; increased testing & treatment adherence. | | Red Sand Project | Human trafficking | Survivors poured red sand into sidewalk cracks, symbolizing “fallen through the cracks.” | Visual, participatory; reached millions; trained 200k+ first responders. |

The Impact of Survivor Stories

Personal Connection: Hearing directly from survivors creates a personal connection, making the issues more relatable and tangible for the audience.
Breaking Stigmas: By sharing their stories, survivors help in breaking the stigmas associated with their experiences, encouraging others to come forward and seek help.
Empowerment: Sharing one's story can be a therapeutic and empowering experience for survivors, helping them regain control over their lives.

7. Measuring Success of Story-Based Campaigns

Don’t just count views. Track:

Engagement: Comments, shares, saves (especially from affected communities).
Behavior change: Helpline calls, website visits to resource pages, event sign-ups.
Attitudinal change: Pre/post campaign surveys measuring stigma, knowledge, empathy.
Survivor well-being: Did the survivor feel respected? Would they share again?

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.
