L4U Library Automation Software is a mature product that is the direct result of Librarian input and suggestions. Those suggestions are what challenge us to excel in the library software industry and lead by example. Here's what some of our users have to say about our product.
"As always the help and assistance provided by your support has been exceptional and some of the best tech help experience I have had with over 6 different library automation systems. "
"We installed CheckMarc Platinum this morning and I had to tell you that it has made the most astonishing difference in the way we add books to the collection!! I can’t believe that we have not been using this all along. It is fantastic! It cuts the time it takes to import records by more than half. Thanks you for developing this and for pointing us in the right direction. Connie, my co-librarian says it’s the best thing to happen to us in a year! "
"Just thought I’d let you know that L4U Platinum 2.0 is working beautifully!!! I really like it!"
"The IdentiFi Finger Scanner is working extremely well in our secondary school library! We were looking for a cost effective solution that was compatible with our existing software and would allow students to check out items even if they had forgotten, lost, or damaged their library id cards. Initially there was a bit of concern from our Parent Advisory Committee regarding the privacy and security of recording the students’ fingerprints. When I explained that the system did not actually store a scan of their fingerprint but took only enough measurements to be able to recognize an enrolled student, and that enrollment was completely voluntary, they thought it was a great solution!"
"I am impressed with your promptness in replies to problems. Your stafff is knowledgable & professional, making my job easier and less stressful. Your product is excellent in my opinion. I appreciate the L4U news tips - they give me more knowledge with minimal effort on my part & makes your program much more useful to me as I am constantly learning new things. Your online training is also very useful to me. Thanks!"
"We converted to L4U from an antiquated automation system and we couldn’t be happier. L4U lets us manage all our assets including books, AV material and software. This software is easy to use for circulation, cataloging and label production. Our conversion to L4U was easy and painless, Kelowna Software Ltd. did it all."
"I like the solid design and ease of use that L4U Platinum offers. It seems Kelowna Software listened closely to school librarians, and perhaps were librarians themselves to have streamlined it, yet they haven’t overdone it; they’ve simply honed in on essential improvements and continued to update in high-use areas."
"L4U is the very best."
"Once again, saved the day! Rep was more than helpful and extremely polite. I never am made to feel that I am a bother. Service is magnificent. Thank you!"
"I have been extremely pleased with the technical support, speed, professionalism and friendly support reps. What a huge and welcome difference from my previous software support (rather lack of support)Thank you-I highly recommend Kelowna Software. "
"L4U proved to be so logical and easy to figure out that I've rarely had to go to the manual. The students pick up quickly on the easiest way to get the best results in their quests. I also like the fact Kelowna Software is open to suggestions for improvements or alterations in how the program works and we see the results in the next upgrade. The support staff are so friendly and helpful when called upon too."
"My administrative record keeping has been kept to a minimum. Statistics can be readily obtained which facilitates the accountability of my library program. The teachers and I also enjoy preparing bibliographies on various topics. I envision L4U carrying our library well into the 21st Century.” "
"Downloading MARC records from the internet is quick and easy which is a bonus for me. I also like the fact that I can easily print my own barcodes. L4U has simplified administrative tasks for me."
"Excellent Program!"
"I find L4U to be very user friendly. You don't necessarily need to know a lot about library automation to use the software. L4U is very intuitive and will do the work for you. I really like the software and highly recommend L4U to other libraries. "
