Re: Library Automation

[Linda Strauss <lstraus1@OPTONLINE.NET>]

It's not on your list, but we use:
Surpass 877-625-2657    http://surpasssoftware.com
and absolutely love it. We've looked at many of the others and find that
Surpass offers more of what we like, their tech support has always been
great, they have a place for librarians to leave their "wish list" and they
use these suggestions in their program updates. You might want to look at
them. They have a fully functional test version available that works for a
limited time. Check them out.
