Pros

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

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.”
AD

Annika D.

Managing Librarian

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

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). ”
