Lm-netters, Regarding the discussion of getting class lists for library circulation, I wonder how many of you use circ software that can import database records. If the office system can print the lists, they should be able to be exported to a text file that I know can be imported into commercial databases. It seems that importing student records into circ software should be as easy as importing MARC records, but I have asked Brodart and Winnebago and they both charge extra for this option. As much as $300 extra. Our Middle school has Follett and she types the new student records in each year. Does anyone have circ software that imports student data without typing in all that information? Seems if the school secretaries do it already, there should be no reason to do it again, yet most of the librarians I've heard from do type it again. I would appreciate your collective experience in this area! Thanks, Ellen
