[LM_NET] HIT: companies to do automation for you

[Melissa Byrd <mbyrd3@GMAIL.COM>]

Dear list,
This may seem like a silly question but are there any companies out there
that will actually come to the library and do automation for you?  I bought
the Alexandria automation system about 2 years and have yet to do anything
with it for a couple of reasons:  I didn't have the administrative support
to do it and I haven't had the time as I have kids all day except for a 30
min. planning period.  I now have a new principal who really wants it done.
We have lots of money this year but she still isn't giving me much time to
do it.

I know of companies like Mitinet that will do the MARC records for you but I
don't even have a shelf list or accurate card catalog (I walked into this
situation).  So, I figured that if I had to make a shelf list first, I might
as well search for MARC records myself.  I just wondered if  there are any
companies that will actually come to the library and help me with it?

I will post a hit if there is interest.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Melissa Byrd
