In need of an ILS
by Rachel Kolkman 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Hello! I am a librarian in need of an ILS suggestion. I work for the Gun Lake Tribe and we have a small collection around 3,000 materials. The previous librarian used Surpass but it is not a very user-friendly interface for patrons. I would like to use it for cataloging, circulation, serials, and as an OPAC. Surpass crashed and lost all of the data, so I will be starting from scratch and do not need to import information. It would be a bonus if we could add it to multiple desktops for no additional fee. I would like tech support to be available and have a budget of around $500. If you had any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you! Rachel Kolkman Tribal Librarian Gun Lake Tribe Education Department 2872 Mission Dr. Shelbyville, MI 49344 {p} 269.397.1780, ext. 1216 {f} 269.397.1783 [GunLakeTribe_EmailSig]
