Subject: GEN: library automation systems

Hello everyone,

I need your opinion on library automation systems.  Currently, we are
using Alexandria as our automation system.  However, we are not
satisfied with this system (apology to those who use it and like it).
We particularly do not like the reports it gives.  We find they are not
flexible and we are limited in what we can obtain from them.

We would like to switch to another automation system but only if it is
worth our while.  We don't want to switch to something that would be
similar to Alexandria.  That would be too much money, time and
frustration spent on something which we already have.

We are looking for an automation system that is far better than our
current system.  Today a representative from Mandarin showed us their
system, but we feel it isn't that much better than Alexandria.

Is anyone familiar with L4U?  I am interested in what L4U offers. =20

Does anyone have another library automation system they would recommend?
Do you have one that  you feel is excellent for school library purposes?

Thanks.
