BLUEcloud Circulation is a web-based circulation management solution designed for libraries of all sizes. It enables staff to handle core circulation tasks—including checkouts, check-ins, renewals, holds, and patron registration—through an intuitive, browser-based interface. The platform supports barcode scanning for patrons and items, provides real-time alerts for patron and item statuses, and allows for flexible configuration of circulation rules, loan periods, and fee structures. BLUEcloud Circulation is built for both single-site and multi-site libraries, offering centralized patron management, granular permissions, and scalable administration. The system is accessible from any device with an internet connection, streamlining workflows and reducing the need for traditional desktop clients. It integrates with SirsiDynix Symphony and Horizon ILS, and is available to SirsiDynix libraries as part of their maintenance agreement.
