Re: CASPR and all school library automation systems

[Andrea Avni <Matok50@AOL.COM>]

Hi Gayle

Your reply to my post about problems with CASPR was disturbing, to say the
least!  I'm hoping to persuade my school to consider upgrading our automation
system in the near future, but now feel quite discouraged.  Some LM_NETters
seem to be pleased with Athena, Alexandria, Follett and Winnebago.  Are those
programs really no better than the others??  Aaaarghhh!

In a (recent) past life I was a y.a. librarian for our county library system,
which uses Dynix.  Dynix is really wonderful, so my hope is to find something
comparable for schools.  (I know they make Dynix Scholar, but I test-drove it
at AASL in Portland last April and it didn't seem up to the same standard as
the public library version.)

Have you posted your survey results on LM_NET?  If so, I must have missed it.
 Could you send me a copy?

Thanks for the support - I'm glad it's not just me.
