Re: School/Home Planet

[janet <janets@sv.CAT.MX>]

Is anyone out there familiar with the software "School/Home Planet?"  It is
a software program whereby parents can get into the school computer system
to check their students grades and assignments from home.  I understand it
comes with a catalog of 2000 web sites coordinated with school curriculums.
Does anyone have experience with this?  Our school has gotten it and I need
to know how it will affect the library.  I had thought of ordering Net Link
to add to our Alexander, but the head of our technology (who makes the
decisions regarding hardware and software for the library) thinks it will
be a duplicate of the Planet program and that we do not need it.  My own
opinion is that we need the web catalog on the library catalog as well.
Help, please.

Sincerely,

Janet Schuh, Librarian
