What do you like best about Millennium ILS?

It works smoothly and is a stable system. Being an IT professional that supports our Library staff and faculty where Millennium is concerned, I have found that the interfaces are easy enough to be used by those that are not as technical as others. The ease of use is what I is its best asset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Millennium ILS?

The SSL certificates have been the most difficult part of the system. With the move to most all related site being SSL (which is a good thing), the deployment of the certificates have been a bit of a challenge. It is more technical than some Library personnel want to get into. We had to purchase a wildcard certificate to be used. Even after properly submitting it, iii seemed to have difficulty themselves getting it installed in all the correct places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Millennium ILS?

Millenium was intuitive and easy to use. It allowed us to run reports, get statistics and diagnostics and even for a user who, at the time, was unfamiliar with cataloging, still gave us the ability to search and sort through our materials with ease. Patron data was easy to organize as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Millennium ILS?

As a recent, but past, user of Innovative's Millennium ILS, I find that it is what all other ILS offerings want to be. It has quick, easy to understand, and fast moving interfaces for all functions of the standard ILS user, in a super easy to read and utilize interface. We recently switched to a new ILS, and I much prefer the ease of use, features, and functionality of Millennium to the new product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Millennium ILS?

My sole complaint concerning Innovative's Millennium Interface is the standard color scheme. The blue green of the interface does not contrast well with the white text box backgrounds and default text coloration, making for some headache-causing visual issues for some users in my library system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Millennium ILS:

I strongly urge libraries looking to modernize their ILS systems to consider the Millennium interface. It is capable, with a low error rate, and high accuracy in regards to circulation functionality compared to many of the newer, lower-cost options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Millennium ILS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Innovative provides a fast and user-friendly interface for many library tasks, with modules that include circulation, cataloging, and acquisitions-related functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
