Comments

The biggest problem we have with this ILS in terms of print materials is in serials controls. This ILS does not do a very good job with check-ins and claims. (Type: Law)

We have just acquired the ability to put automation into practice - in fact, I am still learning all of the "quirks" of the program, so cannot really say how I feel about it. (Type: Public)

Being a special library with a small budget, we do not subscribe to any electronic resources; hence, my answer to question 4. (Type: Museum)

We were forced into LIbrary World ONline because our contract with LIbrary WOrld (the static version ) was expiring and the district had no money to follow the recommendations of ALL 26 librarians in the district to migrate to Destiny. It is at least web based and cataloging is a bit easier, but it's barely adequate. ONe library describes it as the PINTO of library systems. We find things DAILY that are a step backwards from the staic version but it's what we have so we find workarounds (some quite time consuming.). (Type: School)

We are a small, poor library in a poor region of [...] . Library World is affordable for us. (Type: Public)

The main weakness we find with library world is that its search is not very forgiving; ie, make a typo in the request and the request fails. (Type: Public)
