Re: [LM_NET] Question on READ software from ALA - VENT

[Lisa Hunt <lisa3moon@YAHOO.COM>]

It is widely used by our excellent multi-county public library system.  This year I 
wanted to "splurge" and buy one for my school use.  However, it had to pass muster 
from our IT department first!!!!!!  The request was sent to IT where it languished 
for almost a month.  I didn't realize it required "software" approval until I 
checked why the requisition request was taking so long.  "Oh, I'm sorry but IT has 
to approve it first.  They are very busy over there, do you want me to check on its 
progress so far?"  I steamed, CANCELLED the order and stomped out of the office.  I 
know it's not a professional reaction, but I'm tired of non-teachers directed so 
much of my business!!!  I know that the product is good and provides many 
opportunities to connect books and readers.

ALA to create posters and bookmarks? It comes with Photoshop software that enables 
you to create layers for background, text, and your own pictures. And it seems 
wonderful, but mine did not come with instructions and is a bit more complicated 
than I imagined!! If you have used this software and can find the time, please send 
easy to follow instructions to get me started. Thanks.
