Comments (survey2024)

I would consider the discovery layer from Bywater. With Bibliovation, the development is slow and we constantly get our needs put aside when something more interesting to the programmers comes up. We've been waiting years for some development and the simplest things don't seem to work. Items can have two statuses, if you have a bib record that doesn't allow holds and a staff person overrides that and places a hold then anyone can places holds on that bib. There are so many bugs, our system had to create a database. The most frustrating thing lately is that APIs don't work well and a SIP2 connection costs $2000 per connection and usually takes additional programming to get it to work. So using 3rd part solutions is problematic if you can get them to work at all. Also new features are non-existent unless the US government wants them. Quite often, they are things that public libraries can't use. They don't normalize data so searching when there's punctuation or symbols in the field is difficult at best. (Library type: Public; collection size: medium; ils satisfaction: 0)
