[LM_NET] Target : MID/HS Have you moved from Athena to Alexandria

[Barbara Fritz <fritzlibrary@YAHOO.COM>]

Hello all,

Our upper schools both use Athena and soon will need
to change over to another program. I use Alexandria in
the lower levels and wonder if the move to Alex for
the upper levels would be a good idea as my students
come out of the elementaries with a good idea of how
to do simple searches in that OPAC. I do not teach
bolean searching in the lementary grades. The decision
is eventually theirs, but I'd like to share your
advice, good or bad, with them.

Both upper level libraries are currently running their
own version of Athena from the district servers. I
have the database for each elementary building in my
office and have total control over all operations with
my servers. 

Have any of you moved to Alexandria from Athena at an
upper level building? How easy was the move? Advice to offer?
