innovative (Part of Clarivate)
Innovative, the global leader in library management solutions, creates connections between thousands of libraries and their communities. We offer comprehensive solutions for library management, discovery, collection management, and digital resources, integrating with the workflows and software you use today.
Libraries have been reshaping their materials, services, programs, and marketing for over a decade but never more so than in the past year. Technology from our day-to-day lives – ecommerce, two-day shipping, voice commands – have influenced staff and patron expectations for library solutions. That’s why Innovative is committed to building a user experience that evolves with the users - library staff, patrons, donors, and citizens. Innovative is investing in library solutions that offer simple and striking user experiences.
Vega, our newest product, is an ultramodern platform built from the ground up to maximize engagement with collections of all types, helping public libraries strengthen and advance their essential role in communities across the world. Vega Discover was developed in partnership with global leading libraries to create a fluid patron experience and it’s already being used by early adopters across the U.S.
With over 40 years of experience, Innovative offers one of the most comprehensive portfolios of library automation products on the market today, serving academic, public, national, corporate and special libraries and consortia. Headquartered in Emeryville, California, Innovative has a global presence—serving thousands of libraries in 66 countries and offices worldwide.
