Follett Software has released v4.1 of Circulation Plus, Catalog Plus, Union Catalog Plus, and WebCollection Plus for Windows and Macintosh. Among the new features of Circulation Plus and Cataloging Plus are a visual search interface that provides icons to aid searching by younger patrons, customizable audible alerts, partial inventorying, and the ability to extract data in ASCII format from a variety of data fields. Union Catalog Plus has been enhanced with an automated data exchange option that updates related databases when additions and changes are made in one database. WebCollection Plus added quick links for sites frequently visited by a library's patrons and more scoping options—including the ability to specify areas of a school district to be searched, such as all high school libraries or all school libraries within three miles.
The products are limited to cataloging, circulation, and patron access catalog applications. The primary market for Follett software is school libraries.
