Vendors for Self-Check and PC Reservation

Hi Everyone,

We're in the process of looking at vendors for self-check and also for PC Reservation software. Which vendors are you using in your libraries? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Anti-virus Scanning Solution

Hi folks-

PVLD is in the process of looking for a new comprehensive (anti-virus scanning, anti-spyware, etc.) virus protection software application for its entire network. Has to scan servers in addition to desktops. Would very much like to scan clients for spyware and malware in addition to viruses. Also, needs to scan messages on my MS Exchange 2003 server. Currently we use Sophos but do NOT plan to renew our contract with them; at this point, we favor Trend Micro but would like to know what other librarie are using.

Any thoughts on this issue?

Drupel and other CMS

I am working on an RFP for a Content Management System for the library and would like to solicit the group's knowledge in CMS. It will really be helpful to me if you are willing to share your RFP or any issues to watch out for during negotiation and implementation.

Anaheim Opens New Museum Space

So what does this have to do with library services? Well, the Anaheim Public Library has a Local History Room that oversees the Anaheim Museum operation. With that, the library automation team and city networking team have been working together to get the MUZEO open to the public. It is now open with an Imperial Rome exhibit, which is its final stop before it returns to Italy. You can learn more at http://www.muzeo.org/

Hello all

It's a pleasure to see the new Mark Twain Branch. I wonder would this be all right if I share my blog with you and hopefully, gather some comments?

Welcome

As promised at the last meeting, I have put up the Automated Services blog on Blogger.
