----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Pilling, George To: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 3:06 PM Subject: [CALIBK12] Library automation (Note: run-on sentence follows.) Before we are all inundated by Follett who are sending me "invitations" to join their "webinars" - which are 100% advertising for Destiny - and who took over Sagebrush and has been doing a so-so job after a rough start in the conversion, there are many other well-established companies out there that do the same thing. Follett is pushing their very expensive Destiny and every time you add a new part to it, they charge you more both up front and forever in annual fees. Here are some of the other companies, in no particular order.
