I like best about this product that it is open and could share resources. What I like the best is that users can interface the system in any language, it is multilingual. Great resource for global researcher.it supports the endless circulation of policy profiles. it is very easy to set up and administer comparing to other systems!it is very secure and platform that values your privacy.

While researching this software I did not find faults within system. I hope this product will be deilivered internationally and not only locally. I hope everyone involved would find it usefull and profitable.

I recommend using Aleph for your research and buisness. You will likely discover good service and many interesting intruiging features.

I am researching different products like books,software ,educatonal learning systems that can add to education of global citizen. I realized that your software could solve many problems as illiteracy and poverty in the regions for people who cannot afford expensive posh education.I realized that your product could add a lot of profits to local communities not only in your country but also abroad.

I like the fact that it is multi lingual. You will be able to find and share sources.

Not everyone has access to it, so it would be better if more people had access to contribute.

Read a tutorial on how to use key words for searches.

It has helped me with research in multiple languages.

I used it to research books and sources, it was very useful since it had multi lingual sources.

Not everyone had access to it so it limited the amount of shared sources.

It was very helpful for research.

It is easy to navigate with simple yet efficient interface. It also have all we need in one place which easy the process.

The search tool requires as to write full titles with no mistakes which slow the process

None

Aleph has a variety of functionalities and it holds very useful data.

The look of it is not very user-friendly.

I work in a university library so all information from acquisitions to location of the item on shelfs was there, as well as information about library users.

Aleph has all those things that makes it stands out all the Integrated Library Systems.

It is easy and intuitive to learn and to use.

Students and faculty can participate, give training, create documents and discuss on forums in the most convenient way possible.

Given how much it's capable of doing, it's surprisingly easy to learn. I find the circulation module to be especially usable, but the cataloging module is also very straightforward.

It crashes occasionally, but this is less the software's fault and more due to the occasional server crash. The cataloging module is MARC-specific -- though, this is not necessarily a drawback for most libraries. New versions do not necessarily add new features, such that I would be hard pressed to tell one version of Aleph from another. In my opinion, however, the biggest downside is that it has yet to be ported to OS X, and most of the computers that I regularly use at work are Macs. In order to access our ILS, I have to find a Windows computer.

Having not used any other integrated library system, it is difficult for me to recommend Aleph exclusively. However, in my experience, it has been exceedingly useful in multiple capacities. The cataloging module is great for MARC metadata, and the circulation module is perfect for tracking transactions. The occasional crash is inevitable, but this is to be expected of any software (especially those that are locally hosted). In all, I would say that Aleph is an excellent ILS.

Various units in our organization use different features in Aleph. Personally, I have used the circulation and cataloging modules, both of which are responsive and user-friendly. The cataloging module is designed specifically for MARC, so if you are using EAD or another metadata format, you will have you find a different system.

Aleph easily works with other softwares. Aleph is capable of holding billions of records and has many features to help you acquire, control and manage your data records.

There are too many ways to do one thing. There is no straight-forawrd way to work with your data. We use an earlier version of Aleph where any saved files or reports are sent to a scratch page so it does not crowd the server, I suppose, but this adds an extra step every time I wish to change a batch of records,

There are a lot of Library Softwares out there. Please make sure you choose the best one for your own needs.

I work in a library, so almost all of our books and publications are cataloged and displayed using Aleph. We do everything with this platform including cataloging, acquisitions, reference and circulation, collection management, and metadata manipulation.

It's pretty user-friendly and uses helpful images.

It could benefit from having a more seamless interface to switch between functions.

Aleph is our integrated library system for handling circulation, creating catalog records, and providing system administration. It benefits us by saving time on certain procedures.

I would highly recommend this software to my friends

Nothing to be disliked.

Every thing pretty good

They are many benefits not restricted to one
