Director of Library Services Religious Institutions ### "Very powerful and useful tool" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 20, 2021 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. Review source Vendor Referred: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. JT Jenny T.

Librarian Primary/Secondary Education ### "Resourcemate Extended version and Library Web OPAC" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 15, 2021 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.

Library Manager Hospital & Health Care ### "Product Fits Our Small Library Needs Quite Well" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 15, 2021 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. Review source Vendor Referred: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. WM William M. Library Manager Libraries ### "Perfect for Large State Prison" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 14, 2021 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.

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?

AN Anonymous User Librarian Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Resourcemate is very resourceful at organising records" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 April 25, 2021 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.
