Built for Libraries

Need a filtering solution specifically developed for libraries? Want it to be fast, flexible, and easy to use? You've come to the right place.

BASCOM’s Patronus meets your goals, and you don't have to be a technical guru to use it. With one quick setting, filtering can be turned on or off. It's that simple. Stay tuned...this is just the beginning.

Local Control

BASCOM’s CIPA-compliant solution merges depth with simplicity. Want to customize the filter? Create a Profile that defines categories and selects an Access Zone. Need to assign different Internet access for children, teens, and adults? No problem. Create a unique Profile for each group and assign it to the appropriate workstation or group of workstations.

Patronus uses one, simple screen and you're up and running. Take it a step further, and you can override the filter on the fly—giving a patron immediate, unfiltered access for a specified period of time.

Quick Deployment

Patronus is an entirely self-contained solution. Just take it out of the box, plug it in, and it is ready to go with a few simple settings. And since Patronus features BASCOM’s Virtual Administrator, software upgrades, filtering list updates, and remote backup of the system’s configuration files are all performed automatically—without requiring a local technology expert.
