Axiell WeLib Ideas

Important information

Since this idea portal was introduced, it has received a number of suggestions and improvement ideas from WeLib users. We truly appreciate the engagement and valuable input that has helped us refine and improve WeLib during its time as an active product.


WeLib has served school libraries well over the years and has been an important part of our offering. However, WeLib, as a standalone library management system, is no longer actively sold, and active development of the product has now come to an end.


For this reason, we cannot guarantee that new suggestions submitted through this portal will be reviewed or responded to going forward. We will continue to value the ideas and experiences shared by users, and these insights are taken into account in our broader work with current and future library solutions.


British Library for cataloguing in stand-alone Welib

None of the 4 catalogue sources currently available on Welib are very useful for us. The vast majority of our books are UK published, so Library of Congress, for example, isn't very helpful. Could British Library be made available for cataloguing / downloading records to the Welib catalogue? Many of your prospective users in the school market will be using UK suppliers for their English books, so it would be of great benefit. Nils Jansen said that the British Library could be used as an external source in Mikromarc. Would it be possible to facilitate this for stand-alone Welib?
