What Artemis is
Artemis is a web-based library management solution for K–12 schools, covering cataloging, circulation, reporting, and student engagement. It can import student and staff information from a school roster and manage settings, inventory, circulation, and reports across multiple campuses. Administrators can control automated overdue texts and emails to students, parents, or both. A picture-based Kids Catalog is designed for younger students, and supported reading-level services can synchronize book details such as reading levels and points. The system also tracks checkout, due dates, inventory, and reports for textbooks and other educational assets. Patrons can use a reasonably modern browser on a PC or mobile device; staff can use Firefox, Chrome, or Safari. Artemis integrates e-books and audiobooks into its catalog and supports database access and PC or print management through SIP2. Biblionix states that pages use HTTPS, SIP2 connections are encrypted, and database and backup servers are encrypted. Hosting includes geographically redundant datacenters and backups every half hour. Pricing is quoted individually, and the subscription includes support and free upgrades.
