The_Library_Corporation
The Library Corporation (TLC) creates and distributes automation and cataloging software to public, school, academic, and special library systems worldwide.[1] Based in Inwood, W.Va., with additional offices in Denver, Singapore, and Ontario, the company is owned and operated by the same family that established it in 1974.[2]
In 1985, it became the first organization in the world to successfully use CD-ROM technology for data storage when it released its BiblioFile Cataloging software. The CD-ROM drive used to read those first commercially produced discs, as well as the original BiblioFile Cataloging CD-ROMs, are now in the Smithsonian Institution.[3]
TLC, a GSA-certified company, earned a 2009 Best in Tech Award from Scholastic Administrator magazine.[4] Also in 2009, its senior product developer, Matt Moran, was selected by Library Journal magazine as one of the library industry's top 51 "Movers and Shakers."[5]
