Innovative was founded in 1978 to provide libraries with high-quality automation products, and has retained its core mission and key management personnel to this day. The company’s first milestone was the creation of the first “black box” for libraries—a revolutionary online interface that allowed downloading of bibliographic data directly from OCLC (Online Computer Library Center, Inc.) to a local circulation system in real time without re-keying.
