Comments (survey2024)
We are happy with Auto-Graphics but wish there was a working feature that allowed patrons to put printed materials on reserve via online. Unfortunately, everything looks as though it works but, when they come in, we haven't received any holds' notices. Also, we used to be able to search a book title via "Item Status" but now it's hit or miss. I don't know if this has anything to do with recent changes to the system or not, but it's frustrating. Otherwise, it's an easy platform to navigate.

Our current ILS has issues that effect some but not all patrons. I have reached out to get this addressed and have been told there is nothing on their end that is wrong. Also, updates are pushed through without notification of what they are and many of the updates change the day-to-day workings of the system. This requires my staff to relearn the system on a regular basis. Also, changes to catalog records in the system also will randomly revert back to the old records.

It is unlikely that we will consider an Open-Source ILS system as our library does not have the staff to provide technical support.
While AutoGraphics is a very customer-oriented ILS company and provides great customer support, its ILS is intended for public libraries. While it has basic functions needed, if we were to migrate to a new ILS system we would look for one geared toward academic libraries.

The customer service and support for Verso by Autographics is excellent. Any issue I have brought to their attention has been addressed in a timely manner. The system went thorough a big update in 2024 and the roll out was problematic, but issues are being addressed and remedied. The system has an excellent price point for a small library or collection, but it is not very robust.

Our regional system recently made a switch to an open source (KoHa) and our library choose to not make the change. We stayed with VERSO and are very happy. Since our support dropped considerably, we can say that VERSO stepped up and has made us appreciate our choice to stay.

Since the transition to AG version 6, this ILS is riddled with problems and constantly in need of fixes. Our library staff longs for the good ole days when it functioned as needed.

My criticism of Verso is that the user is unable to do batch changes of authority records when needed. I've never understood why there isn't some portal that allows us entrance to modify name, title, and subject authorities.

For the most part, Verso adequately runs our library system. It is sometimes difficult to find where things are - and getting reports to provide the data needed. It could use a simpler interface, but overall, Verso gets the job done.
