TLC's LS2 is intuitive for a user, doesn't take a great deal of training. However, the mobile PAC has multiple issues, including holds not being placed when the patron thinks it has been placed and not being able to see parts of one's account information unless switching to desktop mode, which isn't very easy to figure out how to do. These issues have been a problem for years and are known bugs that continue to be unresolved. There is also an issue with designating different pick-up locations for holds that require the creation of multiple accounts to trigger the holds rather than a system that lists a pickup location from the main circulation login.

Fantastic support but bad mobile version of catalog
(Library type: Public; collection size: medium; ils satisfaction: 7)
MARC records very bad. New cataloging program is very bad, requires to many steps of importing/exporting, standing on your head, and not being able to take a poor record and edit as needed. If I have to spend more than 2 minutes on any record, something with program is wrong. I like old cataloging system, and if have to upgrade will find another vendor or use a typewriter.

The response time for problems and questions is excellent whether it be on line or on the phone. We always speak with highly competent tech support personnel and if they are unsure of an answer they do investigate and get back to us as quick as possible. We are extremely happy with the support we receive.
(Library type: Public; collection size: medium; ils satisfaction: 8)
It would be really nice if TLC were more customizable -- the two most obvious issues are in report generation (only canned reports available, you can't write your own request) and in display of books with multiple copies (only a fixed order available, which is NOT convenient for students as non-circulating copies are listed before circulating ones)

We have very recently upgraded to the web-based version of our current ILS. We are very satisfied with this upgrade, but it is new to us and we are still discovering what works for us and what doesn't.

TLC has been great to work with so far, they have great customer service.
(Library type: ; collection size: medium; ils satisfaction: 8)
Developing an open source ILS would involve significant staff time and given our limited staff and the technology responsibilities that they have, this would not be possible for us in the next several years.

We are researching the benefits of moving to TLC's CARL environment. Preliminary stages only right now.

A main concern of ours is that most, if not all, school library circulation systems need management capabilities to update or replace offensive and outdated subject headings and terms.
(Library type: School; collection size: very small; ils satisfaction: 9)
What I love about The Library Corporation is their customer service. They are so responsive to needs and issues that arise and I don't have to worry about all the back-end particulars of the ILS.
(Library type: School; collection size: medium; ils satisfaction: 9)
All our computer services run through our county IT department, which is not likely to approve an open source ILS since they are seldom if ever open to open source products of any sort.

Very impressed with Summon. We recently switched from EDS. TLS is reliable and relatively inexpensive, but very basic.

I like our system in managing print resources, as well as searching options. I would prefer more options in editable reports.

We are in the process of migrating to the [...] shared catalog, which is currently Sierra. Our go-live date is 1/6/2022. Library.Solution served us well for many years, but we were very unhappy with their decision to hide some MARC fields in the cataloging template in version 5.x, and we are also very unhappy with LS2PAC's lack of authority control. (LS2PAC does not make use of see also or see from references.) We stayed with version 4.x and classic PAC as long as we could, but our local IT department's requirements have forced us to either upgrade to version 5.x and LS2PAC or migrate to a different system. We opted to migrate.

Michael Sweeny is an AMAZING customer service representative. This is my first year in charge of the library at our school. He was the one to help train me, show me the ropes and answer all of my questions. He is very knowledgeable, kind and patient. If it weren't for Mike, my job in the library would be so frustrating and difficult. Mike is one of the friendliest customer service reps I know.
Clarifications: I wasn't sure what "open source considerations" was referring to so I left it blank.

We are currently very frustrated with TLC. We waited years to upgrade to their newly revamped Library.Solution so that major bugs could be worked out before we got there, but have found post-upgrade that there are a lot of issues that were not fully revealed to us before upgrading. The biggest issue is that they have removed the ability to directly edit MARC records, and their new system (which is a good idea, just not at the expense of editing directly) is not fully functional. For instance, if we want to change the format of an item, we are instructed to export the MARC record, use a third-party software that TLC does not support to edit it, then re-import. A one-digit change to the record has now become a 20-minute hassle. The worst part is that TLC doesn't seem to see this as an issue and insists that this lack of full functionality is "to be expected." There are a lot of other problems with Library.Solution but this is the biggest, most problematic one. We are strongly considering a migration, though it will be a significant challenge due to our understaffing situation.
