I also just returned from the ALA convention in Chicago and was happy to hear in the exhibit hall that Gale had offered (after much feedback from us, I'm sure) a 40% discount to update the core software module of the new edition of Discovering Authors. However, I had no luck with Columbia's new Granger's CD. I spoke to Hal Dalby, sales director about the fact that they are offering NO DISCOUNT AT ALL FOR THEIR NEW GRANGERS! He explained that 147 libraries (including mine) had bought their old Granger's CD within a year of the new edition and they still would not give even those people a break! If you think you fall in this category, please give Hal Dalby a call at (212) 66-1000, ext. 7132 and give him a piece of your mind. You can bet I did... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Alicia M.
