Comments (survey2017)

Extremely satisfied with functionality and parameterisation offered with the Libero LMS and the proposed future of the software. (Library type: Public; collection size: medium; ils satisfaction: 9)

LIBERO is fully web based system, 2012 was the last time we needed to install a client version. This year we moved to their cloud solution which we have found to have exceeded our expectations. Not having to worry about backups, disaster recovery, server security and maintenance to name just a few of the benefits have certainly reduced the stress involved in providing a ILS to our staff and members. (Library type: Public; collection size: medium; ils satisfaction: 9)

The staff at Insight Informatics have provided outstanding support in the implementation of our new Libero system. I would highly recommend them. (Library type: Academic; collection size: very small; ils satisfaction: 9)

Way behind with the WebOPAC, very outdated and none responsive. No APP either which is just expected nowadays. (Library type: Public; collection size: medium; ils satisfaction: 5)

Currently we use a different system for our digitized resources: Goobi (www.intranda.com). In my opinion an ILS could be extended to handle this too. (Library type: Special; collection size: medium; ils satisfaction: 7)

Very interested in FOLIO due to its aims and architecture, which seems very flexible. But it will be a long way to see running systems in Germany (with its very special conditions concerning data and consortia). (Library type: Academic; collection size: very large; ils satisfaction: 6)

Very happy with the product and the service provided by Insight (Libero). It has integrated very well with our RFID implementation through FE Technologies. (Library type: Public; collection size: small; ils satisfaction: 8)

I think that it is time for library management systems to move away from "staff-centric" platforms and instead move towards "patron-centric" platform. The patron's digital view of the library and ALL of the library's offerings (books, author talks, eresources, local history, digital programs etc) should be easy to use, transparent and similar to modern social media products.
