Pros

“I also love that I can send emails to students through Surpass, quickly catalog new books, run reports and personalize our opac.”

Amy S.

Librarian

“My overall experience with Surpass has been positive. While there is a learning curve, the system is secure, customizable, and effective for library management, book cataloging, and tracking both circulating and non-circulating materials.”

“I especially appreciate the flexibility in customizing records, which allows me to highlight important details and ensure users can easily locate what they need.”

Kathy S.

Director

“Categories of patrons include students, trainers administrative and support staff.”

Matambo J.

Librarian

Cons

“The only thing that comes to mind is that the user interface in the basic version we use is visually a bit dated, but this has no impact on functionality.”

Annika D.

Managing Librarian

“Seeing some other librarians run reports on social media has made me slightly jealous.”

Brandi H.

Librarian

“Sometimes requested changes are not accommodated because we are a minority in the way we use Surpass (toy library for a non-profit rather than a traditional library). ”

Stacey F.

Alliance for Children, Education Stars Program Director

Cons

“After that I discovered that to receive customer service, we have to pay yearly a serious amount. But then we had inserted already a lot of data in it, so basically we had no choice than to continue with it.”

Arie M.

General Manager

“I fine difficult to transfer the files since my data is not compatible with the program.”
