Gimlet · For Libraries
“We LOVE Gimlet here at our library. We no longer track reference using paper or cumbersome homemade spreadsheets. We keep our tally strictly with Gimlet. It's so easy to log the information and to edit items if we need to. The reports are wonderful, we can look at various aspects of our tracking (time of day, question types, locations, etc.). We wouldn't be without it!”
