"The choice was easy. Besides our technical requirements were met, the cost was substantial lower than our previous system, though at a reduced but more targeted collection of titles. We entered a three-year agreement and got even further discount. We are in all very well-satisfied."

"The set up really was not hard. We have chosen to set up regular download of MARC records to our discovery system. In this way we will keep the content of titles more accurate than depending on the content in the link resolver we use."
