The Zen of Librarianship: The Thing Near is Far Away

Precise, Local Control is Essential
Your library manages a wide array of materials in a staggering number of formats. Processing is varied and carefully controlled. Cataloging and acquisitions are specifically tailored to your community and your patrons.

But local control doesn't mean local execution. You don't have to perform these functions in your own back yard to manage them best.

Remote Management
Partnering with Brodart changes everything. With Zen-like ease you can specify your needs from home, mastering a distant production facility and every bibliographic record that comes from it.

Precise specifications, detailed monitoring and expert processes make outsourced production of circulation-ready material the most controlled solution.

We shepherd locally defined, carefully monitored, meticulously prepared circulation and reference materials. We partner with your collection, cataloging and physical processing teams to perform precisely the functions you perform today.

Monster Budget Cuts? Call the Catalogers

Budget Cuts are Frightening
The pressure on public libraries to provide more and better services with fewer resources is relentless. Public support has been dramatically reduced and private help hasn't made up the difference.

Partner with Professionals
There is help. Partnering with Brodart brings you fully-cataloged and processed materials at a much lower cost. Our production environment delivers millions of books every year. Precisely as requested. At a fraction of your local cost.
