About Altarama

Altarama Information Systems was formed in April 2001 in Palm Beach, New South Wales, Australia. In October 2003, a division was opened in the United States and is now headquartered in Orem, Utah. The goal of the company is to specialize in the provision of products and services that supplement all types of library management systems and to act as a consultant independent of any library management system supplier.

Decades of experience have shown that the traditional ILS software does not have components to assist the reference librarian or information request professional. We provide the “missing module” in the form of software and tools specific to this profession. This unparalleled range of software tools assists libraries in resolving long- standing reference challenges and helps reference and information request specialists to enjoy greater personal and professional satisfaction in their work.

Over the past decade, we have welcomed hundreds of libraries to the Altarama family and provided the tools necessary for the tracking of millions of patron and information requests. Our highly qualified team provides exceptional service to our customers. Employees average over 20 years of relevant experience. These seasoned project managers, qualified librarians, exceptional information workers and highly skilled computer analysts are supported by a first-class problem tracking system.

If you’ll help us understand where your reference or information request operations need improvement, we’ll show you how we can bring technology to bear in ways you won’t find anywhere else. And whether you’d just like to “play with” some of these tools, or set up a formal, free trial, we’re happy to accommodate.
