Hello, My name is Sue Tiesiera and I am a Lurker.

I have been lurking for the past two months.  Started taking classes for my
Masters in Library and Information Science at San Jose State University in
June and our instructor encouraged us to check out LM-NET.  Have been reading
the digest daily since then.

School begins for me tomorrow - the official Unlurking Day - but I'm
responding now since tomorrow may be a two margarita evening, and who knows
how well I'll be able to respond.  I will be starting my first day as a
Library Media Specialist at Patterson Jr/Sr High School in Patterson,
California.  Yes, I'm excited and apprehensive - so much I don't know yet -
and I want to appear professional and ready.

Have wanted to be a Librarian since I was in High School in Castro Valley.
Went to college with a Masters program in LS, but I got married, and 33 years
later I am finally getting the opportunity to complete a life long dream.

I appreciate this discussion group site.  I have already learned many things
and have stolen many of your great ideas.  Used the Quotes to make signs for
an 8 X 10 plexiglass picture holder - to put at the circulation desk - a new
quote each week.

Now that I've taken the plunge - and am no longer an official Lurker - I will
ask my first question.

My district is planning on automating four school sites.  As district
librarian I am in charge of the committee. We are considering Alexandria,
Athena, Winnebago, and Follett.  One site - the HS is pc - the other sites
are Mac.  I would appreciate your feedback as to these programs.  What do you
like about the one you use, or, what you don't like?  Any suggestions would
be appreciated.  If you want to respond to me personally, rather than on the
listserve, that would be fine.

Thank you everyone - and especially Peter Milbury - you were my illuminary
for the class!

Sue Tiesiera, Media Specialist (to-be)
Patterson High School, Patterson, CA
