Comments (survey2021)
OCLC Wise's "Community Engagement System," while reasonably capable in the realm of circulation services, is abysmally inefficient and inadequate on the technical services side, particularly with respect to the complex needs of research and special collections. Acquisitions, serials receiving, and OPAC indexing have not advanced to the level of its ILS competitors. Vendor support, while cordial, is under-resourced and slow to respond, complicated by international programming administration and the differing needs of European and American libraries.

We have had to ask for a lot of enhancements of the product, but the company has been very responsive. The migration was complicated by COVID, but they were responsive then as well. We love the completeness of this product that provides a website, CMS, digital collections management, and other pieces.

Mid November 2021 we migrated to OCLC Wise provided by [...]. We lost some basic integration of the ILS within the IT environment of the city but gained some functionality in specific library processes.
