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. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

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.

Law Librarian Legal Services ### "ResourceMate" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 17, 2021 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.

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 Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. 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.

Library Coordinator Education Management ### "It does it all!" 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 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?

IT support Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Good software for Church" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 10, 2021 we have used them for more than 25 yrs. very good Pros easy to use and the support is good, price is reasonable for church Cons you have to paid for yearly subscription Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

AU 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.

JJ Joy J. church librarian Religious Institutions ### "Program Review" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 3, 2020 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.
