About Axiell

Libraries, museums, archives and schools all hold collections that need cataloguing, protecting and sharing, and Axiell sells the software and services to do that. Its UK site is one of several national sites for a group that also runs national operations in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

Running a library

For lending libraries the company offers library management systems aimed at public, special, school and university libraries. Named products include Spark, a system for public libraries, Arena, WeLib and SelfLib, which supports self-service. A separate line covers school libraries, with tools meant to encourage reading and learning as well as manage stock.

Looking after collections

Museums with historical and arts collections, moving image holdings or natural history material are served by Axiell Collections and EMu. The company says these tools help an institution gather information held in many formats and places, so that staff and visitors, from scientific researchers to students, can reach it in one place. CultureConnect is aimed at presenting collections to the public, and Axiell DAMS, built on the Piction platform, handles digital assets such as images and media files.

Services around the software

Beyond licences, Axiell lists hosting and servers, consultancy, implementation, data management, managed services for libraries and what it calls LMS boosters. It also provides customer service, training courses, webinars, white papers and documentation.

A user community

The company describes its customers as a global community of cultural institutions. It holds user events around the world, and its site mentions a European user conference whose session recordings can be watched online. Retailers and publishers also appear among the sectors it says it serves. Customers named on the site include the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and Coventry Libraries and Information Service.
