“Don’t waste your time with old, irritating library software, SLLS is easy to use, very clear, and structured, with a great team to support you along the way”

"The support team are always very helpful and speedy when answering my questions. I am new to the more advanced admin features, like producing reports, etc. and they provide thorough answers using screenshots or a quick online meeting."

“I couldn’t be happier with the SLLS service. It is no-muss, no-fuss, and quick to learn if you have had any experience with other cataloguing systems. SLLS allows the admin to completely customize the software for any library’s needs. If you are looking for an access point and reference OPAC, this is it. "

"The best thing about working with Baileys is without doubt the ongoing support and the willingness to shape the product to meet needs. We know the staff and any developments or alterations we may need are swiftly attended to.”

“I previously had Koha and would not recommend this to anyone. So I was looking for a simple system, cost effective, customer service and modern. I then found this one. It is very easy to use, modern, shows what has been catalogued, price, account manager so you if have any issues you can go to them. “

“SLLS is a very simple use and go product. The dashboard page contains all the hints, not only on instant access to the page I use most - serials quick Check in - but also where I might want to spend some time on Library admin. Alerts for forgotten details, overdue parts and overdue orders, they are there to help me.”
