Follett Destiny Library Manager vs. Polaris ILS

I like that it's everything you need in one place! It catalogs our collection for easy searching, I can make lists within it that are private to me or I can share, I can also run any report I can think of and even program and schedule reports to be run and even emailed to teacher or students. I like customer support, they provide correct information and are very helpful in showing us how to find what we need.

• Destiny Library Manager's interface is a little dated. After years and years of use, it just looks old. Functionality is not lost, nor is anything else.
• Attempts at automating the process to update our students from our SIS has not gone well. It's easier to enter new students manually.

Super nice and helpful every time I’ve called for help.

We have not used any other products. There was a time we were going to look at other options, but then Follett updated their products to the point where there was no longer a need to look elsewhere. We are very happy and love the cost.
