[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] PC reservation systems

>>Out of courisity, what features does Envisionware have that CASSIE doesn't?

I'm at the Evergreen conference this week, then on vacation for a bit. If you can wait, my brain will work better when I'm... at work. I can get you all the differences between CASSIE and Envisionware that I've noticed, and really missed. I literally can not think of one thing right now! Ahh, jet lag brain.

I return to work April 4.

Out of courisity, what features does Envisionware have that CASSIE doesn't?
If its something that our libraries could use I might ask them for it from our end as well :D

Our library has run Cybrarian (barely has features, continued to bill us two years after we quit using it).... then we moved to Envisionware, which I LOVED. At some point last year during an upgrade, our IT staff declared it unusable and refused to continue using it. I was very sad. I researched everything else out there and chose CASSIE. It seems to be the most advanced option out there after Envisionware. It works great, is very stable and doesn't crash, ever, but I continue to bug their support team to make it act like Envisionware since we lost some features that both staff and patrons were used to.

If I had the choice, I would return to Envisionware. It's just lovely. You'll probably pay more for it, but it just does EVERYTHING. If you aren't already spoiled, CASSIE is nice. And we migrated our patron info to it easily.

Anyone on Evergreen have a PC reservation system for the public they would recommend or recommend against? It should have print management software too and we would prefer it to run with Windows PCs.
