Insignia Library System overview

What is Insignia Library System?

Insignia Library System is a library automation software that helps businesses circulate, track, and manage library items. Key features include cataloging, inventory management, collection analysis, federated search, and reporting.

Managers can organize students’ images based on homerooms, custom groups, and grades on a unified interface. Insignia Library System allows teams to securely login via single sign-on and access various third-party databases including Gale and Britannica. Supervisors can also utilize the search functionality to visualize catalog records and connect the catalog with the school's website.

Insignia Library System lets operators manage collections in accordance with Resource Description and Access (RDA) on a centralized dashboard.

“My students love the phone app also, the ease of check out by class is wonderful for textbooks at the beginning of the year. After previewing 3 companies, I am very happy with Insignia.”

Cons
“They have updated things a few times without telling us first. This sometimes causes a disruption in service and I am forced to call the 1-800 number to rectify the problem.”
SJ

Scott J.

CEO/Librarian

“Once a new feature is added, it very often led to problems in other areas of the software. There were many broken promises that we dealt with after implementation.”
