Biblioscape database is fast and robust. It is designed to be used by a single user or a group of users with no extra setup needed. With the same installation, you can open a database residing on your local drive, on a file server drive on your local network, or on a remote machine with BiblioRemote server running.
Setting up Biblioscape for group use is very easy. You just need to put the shared database folder on the file server of your Local Area Network (LAN). Everybody on your LAN can then open that shared database as if it is on their local drive. No configuration change is needed at all. When placed on a network common drive, the Biblioscape database can be opened by Biblioscape from multiple computers at the same time. The database table is locked at record level. Multiple Biblioscape users can read and write to the tables at the same time. Alternatively, if you don't want individual user customization, you can simply install one copy of Biblioscape on the shared drive, and allow all users to run Biblioscape from the shared drive. In this way, you only need to do the installation once on the file server. But each user needs to be licensed.
For organizations with Biblioscape users at different locations, it is still possible to share the same database with the desktop version of Biblioscape. Biblioscape comes with a database server called BiblioRemote. With the BiblioRemote server running, Biblioscape can open the database residing on the server machine from any computer in the world through the Internet. This makes it possible for remote users to share the same database, and have all the features in Biblioscape still available. The alternative is to use the BiblioWeb server, which allows remote users to share the same database with a much simpler Web interface.
