About Mitinet
Mitinet™ makes the complex job of running a library simple.
We offer MARC data software tools and services. The company, founded in the late 1980's as Information Transform, led the way in automating MARC records for libraries during the initial conversion from print-based card catalogs to digital computerized databases.
Headquartered in Verona, Wisconsin, Mitinet™ provides library solutions which are personalized and high-tech.
At Mitinet™, the focus is on cleaning up, organizing and optimizing your database and information management systems. The goal is to make your records orderly, your shelves tidy, and
your books easy to find, leaving you free to focus on the most important job of all: helping children meet their educational goals.
