Jerry Kline

Jerry Kline (born 1951 in Los Angeles) is founder and chairman of Innovative Interfaces, and SkyRiver Technology Solutions, both based in Emeryville, CA.[1] [2]

Kline received a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California Berkeley in 1974 and began his career designing and developing software at the UC Berkeley Library, where he worked from 1973 to 1978.[3]

Kline co-founded Innovative Interfaces, Inc., a provider of integrated library system software, in 1978 and began building the company in the spare bedroom of his home.[3] Innovative’s first product was a “Black Box” interface that allowed libraries to download OCLC bibliographic records in the CLSI circulation system without re-keying[4] -- a system considered “revolutionary” at the time.[3]

During Kline’s tenure, Innovative has produced a series of library technology offerings. These include the Millennium Integrated Library System (1999), the Encore Discovery Services Platform (2006), Electronic Resource Management (2003), and the INN-Reach Consortial Borrowing System (1993). In 2011, the company launched its latest technology initiative called the Sierra Services Platform. [5]

As of 2008 Innovative had 310 employees and $70 million in annual revenue.[6] Kline founded and launched Sky River Technology Solutions, a bibliographic utility, in 2010.[7]
