Pros

The software is stable, and updated frequently. Customer service is above and beyond!

Cons

Maybe the graphical interface could use some sprucing up, but that's not a deal breaker.

Reasons for choosing ResourceMate

I was able to use my own barcodes with Resourcemate.

Resourcemate is a very powerful and useful tool.

Pros

The basic functions of Resourcemate are easy to learn and easy to use. I like the flexibility of its functions. It is able to help me to perform all the tasks that I have needed to perform so far. Customer service \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has also been very patient, professional and informative.

Cons

It is a large and complex packet and I am sure that I have not explored all its capabilities, yet. I just have to take some time to explore.

Reasons for choosing ResourceMate

I wasn't here when it was purchased.

Good

Pros

It has the capacity to handles our smaller Law Library holdings and is easy to work with. The migration process was painless.

Cons

The connection is a bit slow but that has been improving over time.

Reasons for choosing ResourceMate

Cost, previous experience using the product, and a package that suited our needs.

Pros

We upgraded to the extended version of ResourceMate. 1)We love the fact that we can differentiate between the borrowing period for staff and the borrowing period for students. 2) Reading levels are now added automatically when data is imported -- so helpful in finding appropriate books for young readers. The Library Web OPAC has been a life saver during the pandemic. Students can reserve books right from the classroom or from home. This has been particularly helpful in boosting the Grade 2 and 3 reading programmes which depend so heavily on access to interesting books.

Cons

Lists of available books on reserve are presented in a seemingly random order. I understand that Jaywil Software is working to correct this. I also had a problem with the programme wanting to shut down from time to time. Oddly enough this problem has mostly gone away after purchasing a new scanner.

From the customer's perspective, this seems like a fairly small company, but we receive almost immediate and personal response for assistance in using the product, problems encountered and any software malfunctions. Requests and comments for improving the product to help with the way your library operates are often accommodated. (The customer would not necessarily receive such response and service from a large company.)

Pros

Complete integration of main database with the web OPAC and with generating spine labels, usage reports, producing professional \[pdf\] listings of holdings details using search criteria.

Cons

Patron checkouts are a bit awkward for some of our volunteers. The Reserve utility could use some adjustments.

Over 16,000 books and 1500 DVDs are being tracked and checked in and out to some 1250 prison inmates. Late notices (reminders) are prepared weekly. I am the sole operator, recording all new material, checking out all material, and checking in all material.

Pros

The stability of this software is its best characteristic. The software code is well-written and very stable. Everything you do within the software is instantly saved. Many options are available for pulling backups and if necessary restoring data. A user is never afraid of an equipment o electrical failure.

Cons

Fields cannot be renamed (to my knowledge). It is very difficult to custom design printouts, without mounting a steep learning curve. Fields have to be changed one at a time, with no known rapid change function where all fields with a certain designator may be changed or erased quickly.

My school has had RM for over 11 years. I love it!

Pros

ResourceMate does everything I need it to do and more!

Cons

Not much to not like. Sometimes if you enter a title or name into the search bar incorrectly, instead of giving you an alternative, RM can't find it.

Reasons for choosing ResourceMate

Why look for another product when RM does everything I need it to do and more?

Pros

During report writing sessions, I supply workshop participants with information resources in various formats including print. Resourcemate is able to record such training sections. With Resourcemate, I have created two tables; one holds particulars of workshop participants, while another contain records of resources. We relate the two tables with check-in and check-out activities. What is more fascinating about Resourcemate is that it has templates for printing catalogue cards, lables and reports. Once in a while, we need printed records The institution saved some money for training on the usage of Resourcemate. We used the available training DVDs for the community members' self orientation. For practical purposes, the finance had to be Certain on the necessity of the expenditure. We made use of Resourcemate's trial version to discover these amazing features

Cons

DVDs are now becoming obsolet. I wish the training resources were presented in a lighter downloadable file.

Our library is still using a card catalog and I like not having to use a typewriter to set up each card. The print option for cards is fabulous.

Pros

The program is easy to use even for a non-techie like me. There are still features that I am learning, but we use it every day. It is nice to have all our books listed in the same place.

Cons

The directions are not always clear from the booklet as to how to do some things, but tech support has been helpful there.

Reasons for choosing ResourceMate

The cost was affordable for our budget, especially since initially we had no computer as well. We fund raised our computers and Resourcemate programs by having used book sales.
