The awards are judged by independent librarians with experience with the product or service. 

Designed specifically for public libraries, Polaris is trusted worldwide and recognized for innovation and excellence. Its intuitive tools and features streamline operations, enhance patron experiences and optimize resources. 
“We switched to Polaris over six years ago and have been happy with the switch, including adding on complementary services. We just executed another six-year contract because we're so happy with our experience with Polaris and working with, now, Clarivate. I trust them in their forward-thinking development of services.”
