Thanks to all who sent information about conversion from Spectrum (and Athena) to InfoCentre. My district had decided to install InfoCentre this summer without any input from our 6 librarians. The only training that was offered was a help manual posted to our computer files to be downloaded and printed out (all 250+ pages). The first person to use the system, a clerk at the high school, encountered many problems. Sagebrush (purchased by Follett this summer) was experiencing problems with their phone support. So the clerk was instructed to use email for the solution to her complex problem. She and I spoke to our head of Technology and were able to get funding for a trainer to come out to the district and show all the librarians and clerks how to use the system. That training will be arranged shortly. I have compiled some of the concerns that LM_NET members have sent me about InfoCentre and will present them to the trainer. Thanks again to everyone who replied to my query. Jo ****************************************************** Josephine G. Dervan.
