About OPALS
OPALS Open-source Automated Library System is a powerful cooperatively developed, Web-based, open source program. This alternative technology provides Internet access to information databases, library collections and digital archives. Many school, college, research, business, religious and library union catalogs (that provide ILL services) use OPALS. There is no need to install software or purchase expensive computer hardware or software licenses to implement this powerful, turnkey Internet accessible system. The “total cost of ownership” of this standards-based, Web-based, feature rich software is demonstrably and undeniably sustainable. We can host and maintain OPALS on our servers or we can work with your IT colleagues to install and support it at your site. Experienced programmers and technical support staff update and maintain the program, giving this open source initiative a responsive, dependable support framework that is essential for institutions that serve the public.

Opal Security
Opal Security is an identity governance platform designed to control access across human users, AI agents, applications, service accounts, and infrastructure. The platform provides a centralized governance layer for evaluating access requests, enforcing policy, reviewing entitlements, and managing privileged access. Its Paladin AI can assess requests, evaluate risk, recommend or make decisions, and escalate cases to human reviewers while showing the reasoning behind each action. Opal supports just-in-time access that can be granted only when needed and automatically revoked when the work is complete. AI-assisted access reviews analyze entitlements and supporting evidence to recommend approval or removal decisions with an auditable record. The platform can be deployed in Opal’s cloud, a customer-managed environment, virtual machines, or Kubernetes, with searchable logs for access changes and administrative activity.
