Innovative Interfaces Customer Testimonial
This installation of Polaris is our first as a consortium of 8 county library systems. In that sense, library service has improved immensely. All collections are shared and treated as one. Customers from each county can request materials from any system. The difference has been amazing.
— Executive Director, Polaris Library
Innovative Interfaces Customer Testimonial
Polaris is a lot better at reporting data than our last vendor (SirsiDynix). It also has a more user-friendly interface, and we get better customer support from Innovative.

Innovative Interfaces Customer Testimonial
We have gone from Galaxy to Polaris. When we first automated with Galaxy, we were very pleased with the software and decided to continue with Polaris, first we were not hosted then decided to move to the hosted after a hurricane came and caused a brown out in the server and Polaris was quick to get us back up and running.

Polaris Customer Satisfaction Rating
A Director at a cultural institution would be likely to recommend Polaris for this reason:
Polaris is the third ILS I’ve used in my career. It works well for us, especially for the consortial environment that we belong to. The staff can use it well and when any new employee needs to learn, they seem to pick it up quickly.
Polaris Customer Review
4/5 Stars
We use it for reference, circulation, third-party integration with text notification, SMM, PC reservation, cataloging, serials, and acquisitions.
The implementation was one of the smoothest I’d been involved with. The Polaris staff was really helpful during implementation.

Our cloud-based system is our sole library information system, upon which we depend for much of our day-to-day operations.
Yes. Particularly important for us is the very close to zero down-time, great responsiveness and efficiency, and consistent performance.
