Mental Health Foundation of NZ

"I have used four different library software systems over the years and Accessit has been the best for ease of use, a knowledgeable and friendly helpdesk and an annual roadshow which demonstrates both new features and reminds users about great features they may have overlooked. Thank you for a great product at a great price."

John Haynes, Learning Innovation Facilitator, Tyndale Christian School, Australia

“What we liked about Accessit was how easy and intuitive it was to use. It has a dashboard that looks and feels great – and we certainly liked what we had heard from other customers. The on-boarding process was well managed, and the development team was knowledgeable and professional to work with. We have received great support from everyone at Accessit.”

Nancy W. Body, Librarian, The Hill School, Pennsylvania, United States

“It was the best training we’ve ever received… We finished our sessions with brains full of great information and not burnt out as we’ve felt in the past with other ILS training and demos. Thanks again for a great product and people!”

Vern Dempster, IT Manager, Mahurangi College, New Zealand

“We have had a long association with Accessit and in all that time we have enjoyed an excellent working relationship with the developers and the support team. Accessit Library is school and student focused and any support issues have been dealt with in a supportive and timely manner. As IT manager, the software has been easy to install, upgrade, maintain and integrate into our existing IT system.”

Lynn Vare, Librarian, Otago Boys’ High School, New Zealand

“Accessit saves time and delivers at every level. Stocktaking is a breeze, updating records and cataloguing is quick and easy. It’s intuitive, fun to use and has made my job so much easier. The support and training is also second to none. I totally recommend it to any school – so many of us have it and love it.”

Wendy Harty, Librarian, Talbot Heath School, United Kingdom

“I recommend Accessit primarily because of what seems to be the core values of the company. You deliver a very good stable and responsive package, you listen to your customers and you don’t try to take the micky about pricing. Exactly what every librarian is looking for.”

Lesley Martin, former Librarian, Culford School, United Kingdom

“Choosing Accessit was a great decision for us. There are so many things I like – it’s easy for students and teachers to use and the dashboard is a fantastic gateway, not just to books, but e-resources and websites to support research. Being able to give our students year-round, 24/7, off-site access to our library resources is wonderful.”

Catherine Woodberry, Librarian, Marist Regional College, AU

"Accessit is the most user-friendly, easy to set up, and well organised LMS it has been our pleasure to use. Any issues are quickly dealt with by the friendly and competent staff, and any suggestions for improvement are taken on board and may be seen coming through in the regular updates. Even the price is amazing for the excellent product one receives. Highly recommended."
