When selecting software for a small special library I volunteered to catalog, this was by far the closest to the more sophisticated software I was used to using. Fully supports the MARC record, allows several holdings records attached to one bibliographic record, provides status reports that reflect the value of the collection. Barcode and spine label reports are easy to run. There are some tweaks I wish they'd add to the software, like being able to specify which fields to eliminate from the LC records as they are imported. The status report has allowed the library to receive additional funding now. Previously there were just a bunch of old books on the shelves. Our library supports a very large facility with offices in far flung buildings. The ability to browse the catalog from any cell phone or computer is stellar. Visibilty and accessibility are so important to boosting support for the library as well as use of this invaluable resource. > > **Cons**: The price. Based on our size we were able to request a lower price. I think they should advertise that. > > Very fast retrospective conversion of 2000+ volume library. The ability to show to the administration what a valuable resource they had. ----- ### "Easy to use for the most part just needs better functionality for editing overdue items" — 4.0/5 > **Gina** | *13 September 2017* | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: That you can use many different catalogs when searching for a book, but that does not always work either. > > **Cons**: The fact that it does not automatically update the student grade levels for the next school year and if a patron has a lot of items overdue and you want to say their items are all paid for or to forgive, you have to do one at a time, which is very time consuming\! ----- ### "We've been a long user of LibraryWorld and found it to be a great value." — 3.0/5 > **Glenn** | *1 May 2017* > > **Pros**: For the cost, you can't find many any other similar systems that offer online access and be as trouble free to operate as LibraryWorld. > > **Cons**: The system does have it shortfalls in offering some reports, and cataloging nuances compared to the larger more expensive systems. And, yes many will call this a bare-bones product however, for smaller educational institutions and special libraries it just takes learning how to work within the system capabilities to make it shine. ----- ### "Library World" — 4.0/5 > **Michelle** | *18 March 2020* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Online software no need to buy additional product to make it an online catalog. > > **Cons**: Expensive per year. I could not figure out how to add the correct item to my catalog if there were numerous items or many dates or volumes without clicking on each one individually. Each item clicked on then gets added to the catalog weather I wanted it to or not. I had a lot of deleting to do from my catalog. Michelle Sandler Librarian Beth David Westminster, California > > I only used it for 6 - 12 months. I switched after 55 books to ResourceMate which I have been using ever since. ----- ### "This product does not automatically respond." — 3.0/5 > **Rhoda** | *13 June 2017* | Libraries | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is fairly easy to negotiate the software even though the set up is old fashioned and does not offer as much flexibility as I would like. > > **Cons**: Slow. Barcode scans usually have to be saved manually. There is no accurate total inventory. We frequently have to hunt down media that did not record. This is a rudimentary product > > We have a rough idea of what our holdings are ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/44650/libraryworld?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/44650/libraryworld) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | ----- ## Structured Data
