> **Pros**: Very easy to use and simple to collate resources. I like that it’s interactive for students as well.
>

### "My Journey With SLLS" — 4.0/5

> **Tika** | *23 June 2025* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that I can easily search for a book using the dashboard either by scanning or typing in the title.
The kids are able to check in and out book with minimum suppervision ( easy to use for all year groups)
Catloguing books is made easier with the Download form option.
> 
> **Cons**: When checking for users by class I always have to search the class again for me to check on another user from the same class.
The Renew loan doesnt seem to work on my end, I always have to just check in the book and out again in the case of Renews.
> 
> In the begining it was a bit confusing manuvering with the system, especialy with the printing but having to use it  dail, av gotten used to manuvering with it and find it manageable to use and still learning and discovering other features.

### "Works for me\!" — 5.0/5

> **Nigel** | *21 June 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Compared to what we had before, SLLS is like Prometheus bring fire to humanity.  I like the open layout, comprehensive options and support from a UK based company.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes its difficult to figure out how carry out a particular action, because while most things are intuitive, some are not.
That, and I would love to be able to add 'junior admin' licences with two options and not need to buy an additional admin licence.
> 
> The support throughout migration from our old 'system' to SLLS was excellent and I appreciate the willingness of the team at Bailey to make sure we are getting our best use from the system.

### "Thank you SLLS Crew\!\!\!\!" — 5.0/5

> **Paula** | *19 June 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: SLLS was beyond patient with us as we transferred our library system to SLLS. I appreciate all the wonderful people who displayed their patience and did not hesitate to help us\! I am so glad we found this system\!❤️🎉
> 
> **Cons**: I haven't found anything negative about this company or system. x
> 
> We began moving to SLLS about three years ago. Our library system was built in the 1970s. Our library had so much to offer, but the world needed us to offer so much more. Helping me take on the task was most likely the most significant project for many SLLS staff. However, they provided us with a great deal of help and showed their kindness as we ventured into the world of digital literacy.

### "SLLS Library System Review" — 5.0/5

> **Wesley** | *30 May 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to issue books, add and remove them. Able to down load the overdue loans reports, Able to do daily uploads of new users, sends out automated messages to remind learners to bring books back to the library. Good service overall.
> 
> **Cons**: The search function is not always great especially when we have added new books. Takes a few attempts before it works. Does not have a stocktake function. Had a few issues generating certain reports. May need further training on this
> 
> A brilliant system. Better than the last library system I used. More functional system, able to export reports, brilliant help guides for new and existing users. There is no stock check mode which is a shame and we have had to do this manually so this could be something that could be worked up
