library management system question for rural school system
by Lisa Waskin 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

I have a colleague who is looking into an updated/new library management system for their school libraries. They are in charge of the elementary, middle and high school libraries. They are interested in Destiny, Insignia and LibraryWorld. I also suggested they take a look at Koha. Does anyone have any experience with any of these systems, and if so, are there any you would highly recommend? Thanks, Lisa Lisa Poignant Waskin Director Superior District Library 541 Library Drive Sault Sainte Marie, MI 49783 906.632.9331 v 906.635.0210 f lisaw(a)uproc.lib.mi.us http://joomla.uproc.lib.mi.us/SDL/

All, Thanks to the generosity of our new MAP sponsors Department of Natural Resources and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, every Michigan public library will be receiving a copy of the 8.5x11 MAP poster in both color and black and white. The posters will be mailed out to libraries beginning this week. In case you can't wait that long, or if you are THAT person who in advance surreptitiously pokes a hole in your holiday present in order to ascertain what is inside prior to opening it, here are examples of what you will be receiving: http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/Poster%208.5x11.pdf http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/Poster%20BW%208.5x11.pdf Still to come, a to be mailed to libraries, printed version of the ever-popular MAP brochure. The final design and ship date to libraries for the brochure are tbd. It WILL be prior to the kick-off for MAP Year 3, which will take place May 24, 2015. All of this MAP swag, along with an updated, still in production press release, is available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ Thank you for your support and promotion of the MAP program. Sincerely, Jim Flury Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us
