A Unique, Unified Approach: Library Automation and Knowledge Management

If you’re ready to move your organization’s KM agenda forward (but feel stymied by your ILS) you’ll find that SydneyEnterprise is the answer. You’ll enjoy traditional ILS functions (e.g. cataloging, lending, serials and acquisitions), advanced ILS functions (e.g. electronic resource management, Active Directory and SharePoint integration, and multi-branch work flow) and knowledge management functions, such as the ability to create and publish non-library knowledge repositories, federated search of 3rd party content and many others.


We have easily made changes to the library catalog and OPAC with the changes happening in the firm. It’s easy to train new employees and the Sydney customer support is always great.

Encourage discovery by providing an enriched querying experience

Accelerate all aspects of capturing, organizing and sharing knowledge resources; create the single authoritative source for all organizational knowledge resources; play nicely with others, including SharePoint or even Google, and go mobile to support end users, wherever they are, via whatever device they choose.

Comprehensive Collection Management

Whether you are managing books, images, eJournals, videos or other media, SydneyEnterprise has you covered. No matter what format your critical knowledge takes, you can capture, organize and share it.

Advanced Information Discovery

Enable users to easily find critical information, and expose content that cannot be found using traditional search methods. Rapidly filter results, make queries much more precise, follow visual pathways to essential data, and push information on the most critical topics.

Deliver a Single Knowledge Source

Create the single authoritative source for your organization’s knowledge assets. Integrate SydneyEnterprise with any internal and external information repositories, making it easy to find critical knowledge no matter where it originates.

Advanced search and discovery

SydneyEnterprise’s intuitive interface with one-touch navigation and customizable workflows makes it easy to get into every corner of its database. Users can browse intelligently and accelerate the capture, organization, and sharing process so that content is delivered at the point of need.

Our team of experts can answer your specific questions, evaluate your needs, and show you what SydneyEnterprise can do for you.

Access and search content via mobile device

Offer mobile support so users can now access information whenever they need it, wherever they are, via whatever device they choose.

Reporting on-the-fly

Run reports directly from a search results set whenever you need to, and report on the exact items of interest, without additional searching. Improved multi-level sorting enables much better control over search result order, allowing users to quickly find the right information.

Request management

Lucidea’s feature-rich Request Management Solution offers end-to-end capabilities that take you seamlessly from request capture, to assignment and resource allocation, to collaboration, documentation, to requester communication—and finally to automatic creation of a database for reuse and reporting—all within a single venue.

Empowering users with knowledge that informs action

Lucidea’s Analytics Dashboard is built to instantly deliver real-time critical data you need to monitor and manage departmental performance, with details and trend analysis that drive optimal decision-making. Spend time strategizing, not searching—and tell your story of operational performance and productivity in language business leaders understand.

Configure the system to work best for you

SydneyEnterprise’s unlimited extension and configuration options help you meet the needs of staff and end users as your organization grows and/or changes—without depending heavily on IT. Easily customize the user experience, add fields for new content, and modify workflows to suit your needs—now and in the future.

Built with LucideaCore

LucideaCore is the culmination of 20 years’ worldwide experience serving thousands of organizations in multiple industries, combined with intensive R&D.

LucideaCore applications help special librarians create and deliver valuable, user friendly information resources, all driven by a powerful KM engine.
