For PCs and Macs, PowerPAC works with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome - virtually any modern standards-compliant  web browser.  PowerPAC is the “workhorse” for public access search discovery; It is the tool your users will employ within the library and on their home computers.

For smart phones, Mobile PAC runs on any hand-held device which incorporates a web browser.  Mobile PAC is not an “app” and does not require your users to download software.

When a smart phone user visits your library site, Polaris detects that she is using a mobile device and the layout is automatically switched to Mobile PAC.

Using the Polaris API (Application Programming Interface) you can “tweak” a little under the hood or build a completely new tool from the ground up.

The Polaris Developer Network gives you a forum for collaborating with other members of the development community as well as a sandbox platform for testing your API projects.
