“Really stands out as an ILS”
Pros
I chose to go with Evolve Library as a Software as a Service subscription for our community library instead of installing it locally. This helped us avoid the huge costs that come with maintaining ICT infrastructure, backups, security and needing special expertise. The staff and patrons all use the same software to fit their needs. The tech side uses the acquisition and cataloging modules while the readers' service department focuses on the circulation module and its reporting features. The web-based OPAC is super helpful for patrons. One of my favorite things about It is how customizable it is. We could tailor the data fields and the OPAC layout to meet the specific needs of our library. Plus it integrates really well with Microsoft Office, so patrons can use files from Evolve on their devices without any compatibility issues.
Cons
I've noticed that even computer savvy patrons have a bit of a hard time using all the great features that Evolve Library offers.

“Evolve is always evolving”
Pros
The Catalog Search feature is great and it pulls in catalogs from other libraries when I'm cataloging books. I also love that I can choose which tags I don't want imported, so I don't waste time deleting unnecessary tags.
Cons
The Authority feature. I still haven't quite figured out how to mass correct a Subject tag.

“Amazing support team”
Pros
It's very easy to use. Even people who aren't familiar with computers can get the hang of it. Running reports is easy. What I like most is the customer care. Anytime I have an issue, they're amazing. They've either solved all my problems or explained what I was doing wrong and how to fix it.
Cons
The thing I like least is that if the internet goes down, you can't use it.
