Our services
Six integrated areas of expertise for knowledge institutions
From systems and data to AI and training, we cover the knowledge workflow from beginning to end.
-
Library Systems & Digital Repositories
Specialized solutions for managing libraries and digital repositories with Koha and DSpace, covering configuration, customization, integration, operation and technical support.
-
Cataloging, Metadata & Data Management
Cataloging, classification and metadata management services, record quality control, and data migration, transformation and harmonization across systems in line with professional standards.
-
AI & Intelligent Discovery
Developing AI-driven search and discovery solutions that connect users with knowledge resources through semantic search, knowledge assistants and RAG techniques.
-
Digitization & Specialized Databases
Transforming print collections into searchable, accessible digital resources, and designing specialized databases to organize institutional and research content and retrieve it efficiently.
-
Consulting & Collection Development
Specialized consulting to assess the needs of libraries and information institutions, develop collections and services, plan digital transformation projects and improve workflows.
-
Training & Professional Development
Training programs and hands-on workshops in library systems, cataloging, metadata and AI, designed to develop the skills of staff in information institutions.
AI solutions
Intelligence that expands the horizons of knowledge
We develop solutions that connect data and content with users more intelligently — from semantic search to knowledge assistants grounded in the institution's own sources.
Knowledge sources
- Catalog
- Digital repository
- Specialized databases
Retrieval
Semantic search across sources
AI model
Retrieval-augmented generation
User
Answer with its sources
-
Natural-language access
AI Knowledge Assistant
Lets users ask about the institution's sources and content in natural language, showing the sources behind each answer.
-
Meaning and context
Semantic Search
A search experience that understands meaning and context, helping users discover relevant resources even when the terminology differs.
-
Retrieval-Augmented Generation
RAG Solutions
Connecting AI models to the content of catalogs, repositories and specialized databases to generate source-grounded answers.
-
Human-reviewed
AI Metadata Enrichment
Suggesting descriptive metadata, subjects and summaries, with professional review before approval.
-
Gaps, duplicates, quality
Intelligent Collection Analytics
Analyzing collection and catalog data to help identify gaps, duplication and data-quality issues.
Platforms
Trusted platforms, specialized solutions
We build on open-source technologies to create flexible environments for managing libraries and digital repositories, with a focus on configuration, integration and scalability.
DSpace
Digital repositories for knowledge and research
An open-source platform for organizing, managing and providing access to digital content, including research, theses and dissertations, and scholarly and institutional output.

Beyond these two platforms, our expertise extends to metadata, intelligent search, digitization, specialized databases, integration and consulting.
Koha and DSpace are open-source projects governed by their own independent communities. LibTec has no official partnership with them or their governing organizations.
Illustrative demo
From record to answer
Three layers of a single record: the metadata behind the scenes, what the reader sees, and an intelligent search experience. Switch between the tabs to see the difference.
