Thank you for this App!
As someone interested in both Salesforce Non-Profit and Libraries, I am so EXCITED to see that Salesforce is thinking about Library Management!! Totally agree with the other 2 reviews; why make reader a user? Library patrons would be "readers" so this would not be feasible for an actual library. Also agree on Volume; I figured out that "Volume" means No. of copies available based on the formula, so that field should be re-worded and it is disappointing that so many of the Library Management fields and objects cannot be edited. :( Regardless of the limitations I've seen so far, I'm using this app in my Masters Thesis on using Salesforce as a Library Management tool. I'm customizing what I can based on how a library functions; like using Contact for readers. Will see how far I can get with that:)... I still need to figure out if it's possible to connect/integrate other databases for e-resources and connecting a user-friendly online catalog for patrons to use. If updating this app, I think it would help to consult an actual librarian. It would make it much more effective and usable, and can truly help a lot of smaller and even larger libraries that cannot afford the traditional LMS systems on the market today!
Good
Simple and easy to use app. One thing I would like to change is the reader part. it is a lookup on user currently. It would be great if I can have the option of making it a lookup on another custom object where I store the details of readers. I know I should not expect anything more from a managed package. Anyway, providing this awesome app for free, appreciate that. Keep going !
Library Management
Please reply to tech support emails? Or unlock some of the managed pieces so users can make this work. I added some fields - but get error messages when I tried to update those fields (related to the due date.) As a nonprofit user I was really happy to see a FREE solution - Thank you for sharing this. I would like to add some things but I keep getting messages that this is "managed" and can't be changed. For example I don't need "volume" but needed to add "serial number" (I added my own object for SN, but Volume is required and you can't add letters/numbers only a number) I'd also really like to add "Upload Files" as I always take photos of everything loaned together as well as a photo of the serial numbers etc. incase there is a mistake when entering data. I went to add it to the page layout and it says "read only". I think this is a good start for us, but wish it was more customizable. I need the Reader to look up to a contact or a case not a salesforce user. Great idea just not flexible enough. Figured out a possible workaround with the Chatter Free user. I'll keep playing with this.
We are working on a tool lending library and this Library Management app is the closest we've seen for SF NPSP as a basis. Does anyone else have a link to a different app closer to our need for managing physical objects loaned and returned to multiple sites?
