Hi Katie, Although I am not the best person to give opinions about repository software in general, could I ask you to share reasons for considering a different IR system? What would you like the software to do that your current software doesn't? What do your users say about your current IR?
I assume you don't want to spend a lot of time and money to end up with a system that is very similar to the current one.
