Sierra

|Sierra ILS
I like some of the flexibility of the Sierra system. I really like being able to search for library patrons through the barcode on their card, via their name, and via their address. I like being able to help them search for books through the system and place a book on hold for them. The syetem allows me to check out a book to a patron via the books barcode by scanning it or by typing it in manually. I am also able to update their library card info in the system by accessing their record and editing it.

An ideal and intuitive solution for academic libraries

|Sierra ILS
I have used Sierra for multiple years at two different libraries, beginning when I was a student worker. The basic circulation functions in Sierra have an easy learning curve, and I felt competent quickly. Student workers at my current institution have a similarly easy time learning to use Sierra. Several years after my student worker postion, when I began a new job at a different institution as permanent staff, I could easily pick up where I left off and added new skills across functions in Sierra. "Create Lists" proves to be absolutely crucial and very helpful in our efforts to inventory our collection through shelf reading.
