Error during command authentication.
Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.
Hi All,
Back in 2017 I queried the list about choosing a new ILS. Our selection process was delayed, but we are now back on track and are looking closely at WorldShare Management Services by OCLC, Alma by Ex Libris, Symphony by SirsiDynix, and
Koha hosted by Bywater Solutions.
I am interested in speaking with libraries currently using these systems to assess their satisfaction and to solicit advice. If your library uses any of these systems and you are willing to pass along your experiences I would be very grateful!
Or, if you are able to refer me to a colleague that would also be welcome. Replies need not be confined to art libraries, so if anyone has advice about other lists I could reach out to that would also be very helpful.
Thank you very much!
Susan

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
