Advanced Bindery Library Exchange (ABLE) Software

The Library's Preservation Directorate has announced the release of
version 7.0 of the Advanced Bindery Library Exchange (ABLE)
software, a web-based software product that automates preparation
for monographs and serials for commercial binding.

The ABLE software was originally developed jointly by a group of
binding vendors. The new version is the result of the implementation
of a series of enhancements requested by the Library of Congress
that supports enhanced functionality needed for a variety of vendors
and libraries.

ABLE version 7.0 is available from commercial binders at no cost.

enhancements, visit
