Huntsville, Alabama, August 1, 2006 – Book Systems, Inc. creates KidZviZ, a newly designed K-3 Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) search interface for its Atriuum 100 percent Web-based library automation solution.
Powered by its' People, Places and Things searching index, KidZviZ allows children to apply logical image association with terminology and training that they've received in the classroom.

And, it's a standard feature of our Atriuum product at no extra cost." said Doug West, Book Systems' Chief Technical Officer.
