SISIS, a German automated library system vendor, has signed the Rotterdam Public Library, one of the largest in Europe. The new system will run on a Sun E450 server running Solaris. The product, which is named SunRise (similar to epixtech's choice of Horizon with Sunrise for its successor to Dynix and Horizon), includes acquisitions, serials control, cataloging, circulation, interlibrary loan, and patron-access catalog modules.
The sale is SISIS' third major public library win outside Germany in the past few months. That win is significant because the vendor has been considering entry into the North American market but has held off until it establishes a firm footing in Europe outside Germany.
SISIS has not yet translated its Web site, www.sisis.de, into English, so calling them by telephone or fax is easier.
