Hello,
Thank you for the information. I didn't realize that you had also switched
to III. Did you purchase serials and acquistions? -janice

Hello Janice,

Maplewood Memorial Library here in New Jersey is just going live this month
with
our brand-new Innovative system.  We had not previously been automated.  In
converting our collection, we first inventoried and applied dumb barcodes
obtained
from ICS of America of Prospect Heights, Il, applying barcodes both to each
book
and the corresponding shelflist card.  We then shipped the shelflist to
Brodart
Automation in Williamsport, PA, which did the retrospective conversion.
Since our
system is still new, we have not had extensive time to evaluate the quality
of the
conversion, but for the most part we have been quite satisfied that Brodart
was
economical, relatively accurate and very responsive to our needs.  Please
feel free
to e-mail me or call me for further details.

Good luck!

Barbara Laub
