“The home page (dashboard) gives a clear snapshot of what is available and checked out.
The RESERVE area is easier.”
Nancy Robinson, Immanuel Christian School
"The expanded reserve function gives access to patron information, indicates whether an item is already checked out, sends out reserve notifications and provides sufficient space for comments. It is now much easier and quicker to do renewals."
