Lit-Link - for the Literacy Office

Lit-Link is a complete set of information management tools (integrated database modules) utilizing the FileMaker Pro database engine. All modules use the same general screens and tools based on the OM System, and were designed with the literacy office in mind.

  • Available for Macintosh and Windows computers

  • Existing records can be imported into Lit-Link from other files

Just open the Lit-Link Module Launcher and take a quick interactive tutorial demonstrating the system, or go straight to the "Guide" to lead you through any task. With basic computer literacy (mouse operation etc.) any staff member can easily retrieve data, update or create new records in minutes (different password levels allow for variable access).
