Bringing Libraries to Life
with an innovative & physician-friendly library website


"When I told Data-Com what I needed in a library website, they came up with ideas and solutions that I never would have thought of, including tools I now use all the time that help users get the information they need. I also needed a website design that would allow me to easily manage all of library's online resources without having to know HTML. Data-Com's design for my library website allows me to add, delete and move resources in mere seconds. It makes being the webmaster of the library website a fun and easy job. "
