Innovative\u2122, part of Clarivate\u2122, is pleased to announce that four of our library solutions were awarded recognition in LibraryWorks\u2019 Modern Library Awards\u202f(MLAs). The MLAs recognize the top products and services in the industry, based on criteria such as functionality, value, and customer service. Over 80,000 librarians participated, evaluating and scoring product submissions that they were familiar with.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Innovative is committed to developing solutions that support library staff, patrons, donors, and communities.\u00a0 Earning MLA recognition highlights our dedication to enhancing existing products, innovating new library solutions, and ensuring they deliver user-friendly experiences.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled that these products have been recognized for their innovation and impact, reaffirming our commitment to empowering libraries with the best tools to serve their communities,\u201d said Yariv Kursh, Innovative Senior Vice President and General Manager. \u201cThis recognition is a testament to the dedication of our team and the trust our library partners place in Innovative to drive their success.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One MLA judge wrote on their evaluation: \u201c<\/span>We switched from (competitive product) to Polaris over 6 years ago and have been happy with the switch, including adding on complementary services. We just executed another 6-year contract because <\/span><\/i>we’re so happy with our experience with Polaris<\/span><\/i><\/b> and working with, now, Clarivate. I trust them in their forward-thinking development of services.<\/span><\/i>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
