What are they saying about
Atriuum?
• You know that I LOVE everything about Book Systems!! It amazes me that
I am already so proficient at using a program that I first laid eyes on only 6
months ago
• After speaking to some of the other media specialists in the county, we feel
Atriuum has provided us reporting capabilities that were not available to us in
our previous library automation system, Athena
• We are simply delighted with the merits of the Atriuum Web-based solution. It
is proving to be a quantum leap over the server-based program we were using
• Our administration was very happy that our elementary schools could do their
own retrospective conversion themselves.
• I love the fact that our complete collection is at our fingertips. This is
especially helpful for new faculty and new students.“
Atriuum is used world wide and comes highly recommended by users as evidenced by the
surplus of positive customer comments.
