- Symphony: SirsiDynix's Flagship Integrated Library System--A Horizon User's Perspective Khurshid, Zahiruddin Al-Baridi, Saleh Testing Academic Libraries Foreign Countries Online Catalogs Library Networks Online Systems Information Systems Users (Information) Librarians Test Results Cataloging Higher Education Vendors Surveys Library Automation At the end of 2007, SirsiDynix introduced the first version of Symphony, its new flagship Integrated Library System (ILS). This article begins with a look at the evolution of Symphony, user reactions to Symphony, and Symphony's design and functionality. The authors, along with a team of librarians from various functional areas, have completed testing of four Symphony 3.2.1 core modules and iBistro, the online catalog, at the King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM) Library in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The results and observations from this testing provides an overview of Symphony's strengths as well as its complexities and constraints. The authors present a list of the positive attributes they identified as they studied SirsiDynix's new flagship ILS, Symphony. (Contains 2 figures.)
