Loupe Search

The right resource starts with a question.

“A novel about mountains for a teenager”: Loupe Search helps visitors explore your library’s collections and services in their own words.

Search in your own words.

A subject, a reading idea or a practical need: visitors describe what they want without knowing catalogue terminology and can refine it as the conversation continues.

Built for your library.

Your catalogue as the starting point.

Records and available fields are reviewed to define the connection and indexing. Availability and location depend on information supplied by your ILS and its updates.

Your services in the same search.

Pages, collections, events and bookable resources complement the catalogue. Your team controls published content and the modules available to visitors.

A connection suited to your library.

Together we define connected sources, indexing scope and data updates. Loupe Search complements your ILS; access to booking or maps depends on enabled modules.

Check answers against their sources.

The assistant helps people explore and refine a search. Records and library information remain the references; a generated answer may be incomplete or incorrect.

Optional collection indexing

Loupe can index your full collection: answers then go down to the individual title, availability, location, related recommendations.

Hosting defined with you.

AI is hosted in Switzerland by default. Models, processing and hosting scope are documented for your deployment according to the chosen configuration.

A quoted module.

The proposal specifies covered sources, any collection indexing, integrations and usage and support terms. A demonstration helps scope the project around your catalogue and needs.

Pricing

Your visitors no longer have to look for the right door.
