Winne. & Follett automations '96-'97

[Virginia Lafrance <VLAFRANCE@JR.SIBLEY-EAST.K12.MN.US>]

Our school will be automating this summer and I'm wondering about the pros
and cons of the Winnebago vs. the Follett system.  Perhaps those of you who
have automated in the last year could give me some feedback.

We will have a Jr. High Library and an Elem. lib in the same room and both
will access one catalog.  We will use a cross-platform system.

I'm interested in:

        Quality of service,

        Bugs in the system,
        Do they stand behind their product?

        Variety of reports that can be generated.
        Can you find out what books a certain classroom has checked out?

        Ease of use by librarian,
        By primary students.

        Price,

        Up-grades.
