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.

John Haynes, Learning Innovation Facilitator

Tyndale Christian School, Australia

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!

Nancy W. Body, Librarian

The Hill School, Pennsylvania, United States

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.

Vern Dempster, IT Manager

Mahurangi College, 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.

Lynn Vare, Librarian

Otago Boys’ High School, New Zealand

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.

Wendy Harty, Librarian

Talbot Heath 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.
