ReQuest Manager :: Home

ReQuest Manager is a library circulation software package created specifically to address the needs of managing resources for resource centers.
 

ReQuest Manager is your software. The requirements for the program came from resource centers. The product was tested by the staff of a resource center. The problems ReQuest Manager solves are those of a resource center!

ReQuest Manager is proven software. Currently installed at over 80 resource centers nationwide, large and small, we have the largest base of active users of any software of its kind.

ReQuest Manager is living software. We continue to improve RQM by soliciting new feature requests from our users. We have a demonstrated record of superior customer support since our first version was released in 1997.
