Library technology platform
The operating system for modern libraries.
AtēnaOs connects self-service, the staff desk, and RFID security into one platform — one identity for every item, across every device.
One platform,
every touchpoint.
Seven applications share one data layer, one design language, and one item identity. Install what the library needs — each module works on its own and better together.
Kiosk
Loans, catalog search, and account overview on a public touch display. Patrons place a stack of books — RFID reads them all at once.
Desk
The librarian's workstation: patron accounts, batch lending, gate permissions, and catalog tools in one application.
Gates
RFID gates verify every passing item against live loan data — anything unknown raises the alarm.
Admin
Institutions, devices, licensing, and health monitoring — managed centrally.
Display Studio
Digital signage the whole library runs from one place. Post an announcement, an event, or today's opening hours once — every screen in the building updates itself, so staff never walk around swapping printouts or wrestle a separate tool. A new screen joins by scanning a code, ready in minutes.
Handheld
Inventory, shelf-order checks, item edits, and tag finding — done in the aisles with a mobile RFID terminal.
Tag Studio
Turn a new acquisition into a shelf-ready item in one pass — print the label and encode its RFID tag together, right at the desk. New books are ready in minutes instead of waiting on an outside service, and every tag carries the item's identity from its very first shelf.
One identity,
end to end.
A single identifier is written to the tag, stored in the catalog, and read at the gate. No mapping tables, no synchronization jobs — the same value everywhere.
Tag the item
Each item receives an RFID label carrying its unique identifier — the same value as its barcode and catalog record.
LIB-0045783Lend anywhere
Loans at the kiosk or the staff desk update the item's status in real time, on every device at once.
Clear for exit
Checked-out items are authorized to pass the gates automatically — no extra step for staff or patrons.
Protect the collection
Gates read every passing tag and match it against live data. Anything not on loan raises the alarm.
LIB-0045783 ✓ clearedMultilingual
A library everyone understands.
Students arrive from all over the world, and the library is where they come together — each of them in a language they understand.
In their own language
A reader uses the kiosk in the language they think in — chosen in a single tap, no help needed.
Staff in theirs, at the same time
Librarians work at the desk in their own language while a patron uses another — no compromise, no shared setting.
Add a language centrally
A whole new language appears across every kiosk, desk, and screen at once — nothing installed or touched on-site.
Open to everyone
Nobody is left in front of a screen they can't read — so the library stays what it should be: open to all.
Ready for real library operations.
Built with librarians, for the workflows that actually fill a day — not a feature list.
Works with your library system
Catalog, patrons, and loans stay in your existing library system. AtēnaOs integrates with it — no data migration, no parallel records.
Multi-branch, multi-tenant
Institutions and branches are isolated by design. Every record, permission, and alarm is scoped to its organization.
Centrally updated
New versions reach every device automatically — no site visits, no manual rollouts.
Privacy by default
Patron data is minimized, never exposed in URLs, and every administrative change is audited. Built for GDPR from the start.
Accessible by default
Adjustable text size and a high-contrast display, built to WCAG — so every patron can use the library independently.
Resilient at the edge
Devices recover gracefully from network interruptions and report their status continuously.
Runs on hardware
you choose.
AtēnaOs runs on proven, standard equipment — no proprietary lock-in. Your implementation partner assesses your spaces and delivers hardware guaranteed to work together; suitable equipment you already own can often stay in service.
Touch kiosks
Portrait self-service displays, floor-standing or countertop.
Staff workstations
Any modern PC or notebook at the desk.
RFID readers
Desk pads and security gates with network integration.
Handheld terminals
Mobile RFID readers for inventory and shelf work.
Label printers
RFID-capable thermal printers for in-house tagging.
Signage displays
Wall-mounted or free-standing screens for announcements and wayfinding.
