For Libraries
With over 20 years of experience in developing absence management and substitute placement solutions for the education market, we have learned that libraries have similar needs, as well. At a time when businesses and institutions are challenged to do more with less, libraries are embracing technology while still providing a personalized touch; however, with budget cuts and staff reductions, it is difficult to properly staff libraries during times of high peak usage and absences.
Libraries have turned to CRS Advanced Technology and our SubFinder software to automate tedious manual processes. Our longest library customer has been with us for over 17 years. We’ve grown together, learning how to better serve the needs of libraries, understanding what sets the library market apart, and creating enhancements that make a difference.
SubFinder saves libraries valuable time and resources by completely automating the process of finding substitutes to fill in for absent employees, as well as filling open shifts in your schedule which reduces or eliminates the need for manual calling. Libraries have unique tracking and reporting needs from the perspective of budgets, union rules, and use of specialized funding, all of which can be addressed with our SubFinder product and its flexibility.
With SubFinder, your library system and branch managers will have the ability to:
- Schedule employees, substitute workers, and volunteers - 24/7, 365 days a year
- Track substitute and volunteer hours
- Place your substitutes based on skill level
- Run over 600 reports to track project costs, budgeting, and much more!
- Utilize both telephone and Internet to place substitutes
