Digarc ACALOG ACADEMIC CATALOG MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Easily create, organize and publish interactive course information online in real-time with the DIGARC ACALOG academic catalog management system. With robust, flexible tools for managing catalog data and integrating it into other websites, you can rest assured that your data is consistent anywhere referenced, supporting student success. After DIGARC transitions your first catalog into our academic catalog management system, it’s easy to make changes on your own from an intuitive dashboard, instead of returning to us every step of the way. That’s why it’s used by more institutions than all our competitors combined. Listen to what some of clients have to say: Purdue, Utah State, University of Pittsburgh, Prince George’s Community College, Indian Hills Community College and 10 more.
Turn your catalog into a destination—not just a publication
Today's learners demand modern web experiences and interactivity. ACALOG catalogs deliver photos, videos and other rich media in a responsive layout that looks great on a laptop, phone or any device. Social media integrations encourage students to keep friends and family informed during their college search while also generating links back to your website for their friends who are likely prospective students themselves. In a 2017 client survey, ACALOG users reported a 90% average increase in student engagement.
Make every student a power user
Ensure students can quickly and easily find the info they need with ACALOG's industry-leading search functionality and the ability to keep archived catalogs available alongside your current catalogs. By incorporating printable Degree Planners and guided pathways information, you can help students stay on track and graduate on time or transfer. Empower students to plan their college careers with individual course portfolios that they can share with advisors.
Stop publishing outdated catalogs
Make a change in one location in your ACALOG catalog and it’s updated everywhere the data is referenced, including other websites with the API enabled. Import approved curriculum directly from CURRICULOG effortlessly, so you eliminate the tedious work of checking for continuity across digital assets. Manage stakeholder edits, request approvals and publish catalogs in real time from an intuitive, easy-to-use interface. In a 2017 client survey, ACALOG users reported a 75% reduction in the time it took to produce their catalog. Learn how one College manages 41 catalog and policy handbook editors in this short interview.
Increase collaboration and transparency
Empower departmental editors to make catalog changes while keeping a comprehensive audit trail of every edit that can be maintained for the life of the catalog. Support any number of editors working on their own schedule or concurrently, and track edits with timestamps, user IDs, comments and approval records. Attach critical curriculum documents, including learning objectives, administratively to courses and programs.
Implement easily in just 3-4 months for faster ROI
An experienced 7-plus member implementation team will be dedicated to your project start-to-finish, not a revolving door of staff unfamiliar with your unique needs. Unlike other solutions that take 6-12 months to implement and make you return for ongoing support, your ACALOG catalogs will be up and running in an average of 3-4 months so you can quickly start saving time and stop printing outdated catalogs.

In addition to the training and consulting sessions, the DIGARC team does the heavy lifting and transitions your catalog in ACALOG based on decisions made by your team during consulting sessions.
Robust ongoing support
One of the benefits of choosing a solution that's been on the market since 2001 is the number of support materials available to help you succeed. ACALOG University, which is accessible from the application's support tab, includes a knowledge base, user manual, videos, webinars and more. A customer forum for sharing best practices, tips and tricks with peer institutions is also offered. In-app training is available through a user-friendly WalkMe interface that delivers step-by-step directions for specific tasks within the application.
