Introduction
Aurora is the name of our
Library management system (LMS). Aurora was designed and developed in
Australia by AIT - an Australian technology company. We are a
niche player in a global marketplace however our goal is not to be the
biggest LMS vendor but to focus on innovative software development backed up
with strong customer support. We develop our software exclusively for
libraries.

through open tender for their new LMS. On May 30th they went live
following a significant data conversion but this was all achieved without
any branch being closed.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation also
