When Sagebrush bought Winnebago, the librarians in my district
decided to look at other automation packages. From what I remember,
we were told by Winnebago that we would have to buy the new
automation program, or we would have no upgrades. My software was
three years old, and I was pretty mad. After looking at all the major
systems, we selected Alexandria, and we have been very happy with it.
Looking at yet another sale, I am very happy we went with Alexandria.
