Pros

“Update the manual not only the video tutorials.”
ar

ana r.

Librarian Director

“I saved over $12,000 over other systems and working in public schools every dime you save can go toward books for the library.”
AL

Ann L.

Librarian

“The ability to quickly download catalog records from Library of Congress or other libraries is extremely helpful. Whenever I need to create a record that can't be downloaded, an exceptional template is available. If I need to edit a record all of the MARC record fields and subfields show as options for insertion; and it is very easy to delete an unwanted field.”
KG

Karen G.

Library Director

Pros

“It seems a little outdated. But honestly the simplicity of it far outweighs.”
AF

Allie F.

Media Specialist

“As implementer, its very user friendly and easy to issue and returns books, even add the titles”

Cons

“Call Number Labels are hard to customize to size and we have to use M3 for that.”
AE

Ana E.

Librarian

“Learning a new system, as a new librarian, with hundreds of patrons, was a daunting position.”
LJ

Laurie J.

Librarian

“In the catalogue feature, when you’re adding or editing a single book, the fields are all numbered and not easy to know what you are doing.”
DI

Daniel I.

Librarian

Cons

“The deployment and backend management is cumbersome and can be frustrating. ”
FN
