Librarian Software

[dhm83]

Hi all,

 

Not sure if people all ready know this but thought I would share it anyway.

 

My school has been using a 13 year old version of Junior Librarian for a very long time, and we have struggled to find any sort of alternative to it that is affordable.

 

I have had the Reading Cloud product pushed at me quite hard as this is Junior Librarian's successor. But this product is simply too expensive for a small primary and probably most other schools too. The only plus point of the Reading Cloud was that it is in the Cloud and they look after all backups.

 

Recently though I have discovered a librarian platform called Libresoft Librarian. This software is cloud based, and has all the functionality of Junior Librarian and the ability for pupils to review books, and post recommendations to other pupils. All the backups are done for you online so there will always be a backup, plus the support for the product is thrown into the price unlike other products where it is a separate charge. For my small 210 pupil primary it was £295 ex vat per year all in.

 

We have been using Libresoft Librarian for about a month now, and I can say it is a vast improvement on the old platform, more user friendly and the support we have received during the transition and since has been great. Would be happy to recommend them as an alternative to Junior Librarian.

 

If any one wants any more details or direct contact details for them pm me and I will pass them on to you.

 

Hope this is useful!

Have you found a way to get it to open to the "quick scan in/out" page?

 

We have to click the button to get there.

 

Otherwise, I'm impressed by the service/price. Certainly better than the £2.5k (!!!) MLS want to charge if you lapse and come back as a "new" customer.
