Hi Elizabeth, At my previous job, at the Center for Jewish History in NYC, we choose Ex Libris's Rosetta. We were migrating from ExL's Digitool. We also considered a couple hosted open source options and a German system for which the name escapes me at the moment. That migration project happened in 2015-2019. It was...a choice. It was perhaps the least-bad choice out of a whole bunch of duds. While it's a robust system in a lot of ways, ExL's support during the migration was terrible and they definitely over-promised A LOT, and the system has a lot of weird quirks that we weren't aware of until we were already in it, such as only having Dublin Core descriptive metadata. I've got A LOT to say about it, but I'll leave it at that unless prompted for more. A colleague & I also presented at the ExL Northeast Users Group conference about it in 2018: http://documents.el-una.org/1767/ Cheers, Jaime Taylor Discovery & Resource Management Systems Coordinator W.E.B.
