Basic Settings

Users who are assigned the Administrator role will have access to the entire Admin section of LibraryAware. Users who are assigned the Publisher role will be able to access the Template Management section under the Admin section, but not other Admin sections. 

The Basic Settings page contains the essential organization details for your site, including address, general contact, and website.  You will need to enter this information when you first set up LibraryAware.  Each library branch will have its own Basic Settings to maintain.
