What are they saying about Atriuum? You know that I LOVE everything about Book Systems!! It amazes me that I am already so proficient at using a program that I first laid eyes on only 6 months ago After speaking to some of the other media specialists in the county, we feel Atriuum has provided us reporting capabilities that were not available to us in our previous library automation system, Athena We are simply delighted with the merits of the Atriuum Web-based solution. It is proving to be a quantum leap over the server-based program we were using Our administration was very happy that our elementary schools could do their own retrospective conversion themselves. I love the fact that our complete collection is at our fingertips. This is especially helpful for new faculty and new students.“ Atriuum is used world wide and comes highly recommended by users as evidenced by the surplus of positive customer comments. · Link to Customer reviews of Book Systems service and training:
