One Unified Application

Sierra supports multiple workflows — Circulation, Cataloging, Acquisitions, eResource Management, and more — within one interface to easily manage all of your library’s day-to-day activities and special initiatives, saving time for attending to the human side of library work.

Each staff member can have a customized Sierra experience, with workflow elements configured to appear or be hidden in the interface according to your needs. That may mean only Circulation elements appear for one staff member, and another has access to Acquisitions and Cataloging elements.
