UPDATED: Library Automation Migration
Click here for the New Automation System
The SLS worked hard and made great progress with our in-house review of library automation systems. We have evaluated seven vendors, including Follett. Each vendor was invited to submit demo videos showcasing their products. We have reviewed these submissions to verify that each system meets the basic needs of our community of users.
We have made the decision to move to Alexandria for our new automation system. Please take some time to review our Automation Migration webpage. This will be constantly updated with more information as the process gets underway.
