I am research Alexandria for a project I am working on for graduate school. We
have been given a fake "school" scenario and we have to determine which system
would be best for the school. Each of the four groups members has chosen a
different automation system. I chose Alexandria. We have looked at our school
and determined what we need in an automation system so now we need to see if
each system has these options. Here is what I need to know...

* Does the Alexandria system provide full recovery from crashes?

* Does it have adaptive technology or can you set up adaptive technology
equipment on it? (Adaptive technology meaning tools for students with
disabilities)

* Does it support remote access?

* Does it have any Spanish functions? Meaning, can students type in spanish or
does it offer Spanish icons for searching library records. The school we have
16% Hispanic. (I honestly don't know if ANY of the systems would do this.)

I did contact Companion Corp. for an information packet and demo but I can't
seem to find answers to these questions.

Thanks!
