TECH: Library automation - free offer

[Randi Hermans <rhermans@CHILL.ORG>]

Greetings,
As a very happy user of the Alexandria library automation system, I'd like
everyone who isn't automated to be aware of this offer from COMPanion
Corporation.  We still have schools in Chilliwack that are not automated.
In some situations it's a lack of funds, but I truly believe that many
administrators don't realize the tremendous advantages of automating a
school library regardless of size.  I automated our library when I was only
working 55% and we had about 150 students.  Yes, it was well worth the time
and work!  Twelve schools in Chilliwack now use the Alexandria system and I
anticipate that several will act on this offer.  I think it's a wonderful
way to show the administration some of the benefits.

Beginning October 1 through December 31, 1999, librarians can call=20
COMPanion or visit their Web site to request a free single user version=20
of Alexandria. Librarians that take advantage of the promotion also=20
receive 60 days free technical support and a free electronic manual.=20
This is not a demonstration version of the software. It is a fully=
 functional=20
license, with no limit to how long the product can be used.
COMPanion is offering this promotion to encourage librarians to discover=20
Alexandria=B9s fully integrated functionality and ease of use. The=20
promotion gives libraries that aren=B9t automated, due to a lack of funding,=
=20
an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of automation at no cost. In=20
addition, for the thousands of libraries that are not Y2K compliant or=20
that are unhappy with their current system, the Alexandria promotion is=20
an ideal solution.
