Not only are Innovative solutions created for libraries – they are in large part created by libraries. 180 features have been implemented in Sierra and Polaris from ideas contributed and voted on by library staff.
How do ideas get from the brains of librarians to Innovative products? Innovative community members like you submit, discuss and vote on ideas for product enhancements and improvements at Idea Exchange! Open to all Innovative customers from circulation desk staff to directors, you’re not required to be a member of the IUG to contribute to Idea Exchange; you just need to work at an Innovative library.
Idea Exchange, which replaces Idea Lab, is the next generation for our idea-sharing platform. It’s configured a little differently for an improved user experience. (Learn more about differences between Idea Lab and Idea Exchange in this FAQ from earlier this year.) With Idea Exchange, you can continue to contribute ideas for Sierra and Polaris – and we’ve expanded our forums to include Vega modules like Discover, Program, Promote, Promote Web, and Guide, as well as Innovative Phone Alerts, LX Starter, Innovative Mobile, and INN-Reach.
Remember, you can also see what features are already on the roadmap for Sierra, Polaris, and Vega on the Sierra, Polaris and Vega product roadmaps on Productboard.
