Susan,

I have nothing but positive things to say about LibraryWorld. Its a completely cloud-based library system that costs a flat $495 a year for the first 100,000 records.  This including catalog, circulation, and serial modules and IT support. It has a Z39 server to copy catalog records and now allow for JPEG and PDF attachments to records. While I have not used this at my art library position (we do not have a budget), I have migrated library catalogs for 2 small colleges from 'legacy' systems to Library Word.  It was a painless migration experience and library users found it easy to use.  Here's a link to their site: http://www.libraryworld.com/  

Email me if you have further questions.

Hi All,

 

We are beginning the process of choosing a new ILS. We currently use Ex Libris Aleph and will probably consider WorldShare Management Services (we already catalog with OCLC and use WorldCat Discovery for our discovery layer as well as OCLC’s link resolver for electronic resources) and Alma from Ex Libris.  We are familiar with Library Technology Guides perceptions survey (https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2016/) but wanted to get some more targeted information from art libraries. 

 

We are interested in advice from art libraries who have recently gone through the process of choosing an ILS, as well as hearing feedback on what systems art libraries are currently using (the good and the bad!).  I’m happy to receive replies on or off list.

 

Thanks and best wishes,

Susan
