Comments

Most of the OPAC products in our price range appear to be designed for elementary schools. Good at sorting by reading level, which is irrelevant to our users, but bad at sorting by material type/format, which is important to our users. (Type: Museum)

It's pretty basic, but it's inexpensive and it works. (Type: Medical)

The search engine for the system is not very forgiving and does not suggest any close alternatives (Type: Public)

The two things we dislike about the ILS is the serials module and lack of an acquisitions module. However, in terms of cataloging and circulation, it's very easy to use. The user interface is simple and clean. Also, the reports are easy to generate. (Type: Law)

We selected LibraryWorld because the cost is under $500 per year. It is very limited in features, but sufficient for our present needs when paired with WorldCat Discovery, as explained below. The biggest drawback of LibraryWorld is extremely limited ability to customize. Our patrons search our collections though WorldCat Discovery and are directed to LibraryWorld for local holdings only. For collection size, I have listed local holdings, since we do not search electronic holdings in LibraryWorld. (Type: Academic)

I am totally satisfied with LibraryWorld. And students find they can use it with ease. (Type: School)

Reporting is an issue. Reports do not give all information in the catalog for an entry, and they are not customizable. (Type: Independent Research)

LibraryWorld is very basic and within our budget. It doesn't allow patrons to manage their own accounts. We're seeing issues with that. Patrons want to place their own items on hold and handle renewals. We'd like to move to a different system, but for now we're with Library World. (Type: Public)

It works well for circulation, but it has limitations as a report generator. (Type: Public)

I have been the librarian for less than a year so could not answer all of the questions. (Type: Museum)
