a few of the testimonials that some of our clients have provided.
Town of Bassendean
It is now 8 years since the Bassendean Memorial Public Library and
Information Service has signed the contract (October 1993) for the delivery,
installation, training and implementation of the LMSi
Management System.
I have to say that the relationship and service levels we enjoy are quite
remarkable in many ways. The reliability of the LMSi
has been and remains outstanding and its relevance to the demands of service
provision in 2001 has been maintained through the upgrades.
The initial evaluation made in 1993 that the LMSi
was ample for smaller library systems and therefore ideal for the Bassendean
Library, has remained valid.
The capacity for us to add modules as the need arises has enabled us to add
the Local History module recently and with the modifications requested, this
is proving to be a valuation addition to our capabilities to display all
Library holdings on our O.P.A.C.S. (including photographs).
Our experience has been that the LMSi is easy to
understand, easy to operate and ideal for our sized operation. The training
required for new and volunteer staff is not very great and this has been a
major bonus to us.
I want to also place on record the appreciation for the quality of service
we received on those few instances it was called for. Your company has in the
past, and I trust will in the future, continue to be supportive and helpful –
even in the little things.
I have been really pleased with your ability and willingness to be as
patient, supportive and understanding to us now and when we commenced the
relationship in 1993.
Thank you for a wonderful “partnership” up to this point and I believe that
I will be able to comment similarly at the end of the next eight years.
Thank you to the Comsoft team.

Shire of Murray
The Alcoa Murray Public Library has been using Comsofts’ Library Management
System (LMSi) since March 2000 when the staff at
Comsoft made sure that the transition from our old database to LMSi
was completed with only minor disruptions, and without the library having to
close to the public.
All of the library staff, including those with very little computer
experience have found the system to be easy to learn and very user-friendly.
The introduction of the LMSi system has allowed our
collection to continue to diversify in material type due to its wonderful
flexibility and to be accessed by our members in a much more comprehensive,
user-friendly manner.
We have found the unfailing friendliness and willingness to help with even
the smallest problem of the staff at Comsoft a delight on the few occasions
that we have needed to contact them. They have always gone out of their way to
ensure that our LMSi system is tailored perfectly to
our collection and our community’s needs.

BUNBURY CATHOLIC COLLEGE
In 1988,
Bunbury Catholic College was one of the first schools in the South
West to automate its library. Shortly after, Comsoft became our
library software support company. Since 1995, their LMS software has
been an integral feature of our library management and services; the
stability of the program proving to be an enviable facet of
technology at this College.
Whilst
other school libraries have needed to change their management
software during this timeframe, we have simply upgraded LMS versions
and have now incorporated the wonderful LMSi onto the Intranet of our
Cathednet network. Students and staff alike have found the browser
interface easy to use; the OPAC hyperlink facility allowing for more
efficient and effective searching from any computer within the
school.
Comsoft
demonstrates genuine interest in the needs of their library clients,
and are committed to providing quality service and competent advice.
They progressively adapt their software to encompass new technology
directions, and are open to the ideas and
suggestions of the user group.
As we are
located in a regional area, the library staff of the College have
appreciated the invaluable support of the friendly Comsoft team over
the years. It is reassuring to have trust and confidence in a local
W.A company and its product.
