[Peter Milbury <pmilbury@ERICIR.SYR.EDU>]

Dear LM_NET Colleagues,

Save through EL-Announce! If you were susbcribed to EL-Announce, through
just today's postings you would have learned about these exclusive
EL-Announce discounts and savings:

1.  Facts On File News Services invites you to a User Group Meeting for
the acclaimed FACTS.com Internet service.

2.  How to receive a 30% discount from Libraries Unlimited during January
2000 (plus their conferences schedule where you can order at a discount.)

3.  How to save from 25-40% discounts off of list price on two Follett
automation products.


Our EL-Announce vendor (and subscriber) membership has been growing, and
now includes many of the major producers of library automation software,
as well as some of the major publishers of education and school library
services. Important announcements and discounts are posted each week.

LOOKOUT: Also, some time after the first of the year, we will be revamping
EL-Announce to include summaries and selected LM_NET announcements, so
that those who can't handle our large number of messages can have access
to the discussion.

LOOKOUT for LM_NETSelect in 2000!

Peter Milbury, for LM_NET

Greetings LM_NETTERS!

I'm sure you are well into the school year.  It's certainly a busy time; one
that demands 150% of your time.  That's the way it is for me too.  So, I
will be as brief as possible and to the point.

As you may know, two years ago we started a companion listserv to LM_NET -
called EL-ANNOUNCE.  The purpose of EL-ANNOUNCE is to provide an outlet for
commercial messages of interest to those in the library media field.  As you
know, we work very hard to keep LM_NET as "commercial-free" as possible, and
overall we are very successful.  However, we don't want to miss useful
announcements from vendors - particularly those messages about DISCOUNTS,
new products and specials.  That's where EL-ANNOUNCE comes in.  EL-ANNOUNCE
is a read-only, moderated listserv.  It is an announcement list only--there
will be no discussion, but you will be able to reply directly to a specific
vendor to obtain additional information if you desire. We pre-screen to make
sure that messages are of potential interest to persons in the school
library media field, and vendors are limited to only one message per week.

Recent EL-ANNOUNCE postings of announcements and discounted specials
include: Capstone Press, Facts On File News Services, Follett Software
Company, KEH Communications, Libraries Unlimited, Linworth Publishing,
Omnigraphics, Rock Hill Press, Storyhouse. I feel very strongly that vendors
can and should be valuable partners in our effort to meet the information,
resource, and instructional needs of students and staff, K-12.  These
companies are examples of vendors who are eager to work with us.

So, if you don't currently receive EL-ANNOUNCE messages, please consider
doing so.  It's easy to subscribe (see below) and the traffic is very
manageable.  It's simple to quickly scan down the messages to those relevant
to your needs. For example, EL-ANNOUNCE may be particularly helpful to spot
deals and announcements of new products as you prepare your orders. It's
also a good way to show your support for LM_NET!

Thanks for your continued support of LM_NET and now EL-ANNOUNCE. Looking
forward to seeing many of you at AASL and CSLA!  All the best -

Mike Eisenberg
