[Eril-l] Open Source Ticketing system recommendations?

Wed May 24 07:57:32 PDT 2017

I interviewed several libraries who use ticketing system software (both free and paid) for a Serials Review article last January, if you want to read more and contact those that look interesting.

Hi Steve and Buddy,

Thanks for your recommendation of RT, there are so many out there now that getting your perspective is helpful.  I had wanted to ride on our "big IT" coattails and implement one of their 2 ticketing systems, but didn't work out for a couple of reasons.  One was cost, the other inflexibility in the system.

Thanks again!

Best,

Jacquie

I have some end user experience RT, which our state consortium uses. I think it is good but will second that search could be better.

We invested in JIRA and I think it is pretty amazing. But it isn't free...

Hi Jacquie,

Currently we use RT by Best Practical. It's an open source system that's also used by our primary consortium, as well in the iSchool at Illinois. It is pretty full featured and stable, although it has its functional quirks (the biggest of which is the way its search function works). We've used it for many years and it does just about everything we could imagine wanting to do.

We are investigating the possibility, though, of migrating to a commercial product currently in use by our campus IT folks. This investigation is not because we are so unhappy with RT but rather as a way of simplifying and streamlining the variety of systems that need to be supported by library staff in my group. In other words, we are the only campus unit that uses RT currently. If we can hitch a ride with our campus IT, this might be an improvement in terms of longterm support, etc.

Hi all,

I have a question on ticketing software: Is anyone using an OpenSource ticketing software that they like?  I am hoping to find one that is fairly robust, but can be set up in Technical Services use without too much development.

Thanks,
Jacquie
