Comments (survey2017)
Regarding the 4th question, we don't use our ILS to manage our electronic resources, but since we subscribe to so few databases, we don't need to have our ILS manage them.
I did not try to answer the question about customer support since we are still in our first year on Evergreen. I don't have a previous year of support for comparison. Additionally, since we are now members of a consortium, we get our support from the consortium, and only indirectly from Equinox. Problems we report that the consortium help desk can't answer are passed on to Equinox. So there are two levels of support here, and it's difficult to parse it out in the survey questions. We are mostly happy with the support we get from the consortium; not so sure about the more knotty problems that get passed on to Equinox.
I also can't really answer the question about whether we would consider working with the company again. We are now part of a consortium, and as of now that appears to be a permanent situation. Any decisions on vendor are up to the consortium, not up to us.
Obviously we would consider implementing an open source ILS since we currently have one.

Most of the "5" answers regarding satisfaction with the "company" really should be "N/A" but that wasn't an option. We no longer have a support contract at all.

Sitka Evergreen has a number of annoying issues. Support is good online and on the phone. Print manual is not user friendly. The reporting features are very cumbersome and I find that I don't take advantage of the feature as I should.

We experience a significant amount of down time and Equinox can't seem to improve the problem. The[...] is looking at getting a new support vendor.

The reviews are a bit lower than last year due to a Holds issue that we are currently experiencing with Evergreen now that we have opened our catalogue to our consortium. All other functionality of Evergreen are otherwise working well.

The product is hosted by the vendor. There seems to be a fair amount of downtime, and a general slowdown every afternoon. There seems to be a lack of responsiveness to this ongoing issue. They fix the immediate problem but not the underlying causes. We are a growing consortium and the catalog is a mess because the algorithms used to merge new libraries don't work well. Attempts to clean up the mess have not been particularly successful. Overall management of the consortium by State Library has not been stellar, which has not helped the situation. It is sometimes difficult to tell if the problem is the vendor or State Library.

We are a member of a growing consortium. There are likely to be significant changes in the structure in the next few years. Currently we enjoy the ability to share collections across the state.

Sitka-Evergreen has some issues, but for the price, it really can't be beat.

Reporting function is extremely frustrating.

The worst part is the inability to pull items up through the search function causing staff to try multiple ways until item can be located.

As a member of a public library system, this library doesn't have direct control of purchase of an ILS. As a member, this library's opinions and comments are solicted and welcomed by the public library system.

We have access to many resources but have to pay for one of them if we want to use it. There are times, when trying to find a MARC record, these resources don't have it. I feel for the price of these services and how they go up every year, all resources should be accessible to us.

We love the ILS, but the initial training we received before migrating focused on applications that weren't relevant to our day to day usage. We hope future trainings, especially as Evergreen/SPARK moves to a web client in 2018, are more geared towards the applications we need to know how to complete.
Other than that, we're very happy with the ILS. The union catalog has been running smoothly and lets us provide so many more materials to our patrons.

We are part of [...] which uses Evergreen. We are satisfied with Evergreen but we are changing vendors from Equinox to Mobius.
(Library type: Public; collection size: medium; ils satisfaction: 7)
The survey needed a N/A on several questions. For example: we don't use our ILS for print solutions.

This library never interfaces with the company that provides this ILS at all. All concerns are put to our library system, who handles that end.
