Well over 100 people attended this morning's session to honor our John Does, heaping lots of deserved praise on them as well as awards.

Overdrive wants us to know that they've just signed contracts with three additional large audio publishers and will within days have substantially more bestsellers and popular authors available.

Aquabrower, advertised in all of our professional journals, is much better in person than the print ads could ever show and it is believed by the vendor that it would work the way 'we' would expect it to work in our consortial environment (including those of us who have main libraries with branches). Unfortunately, a rough 'ballpark' cost estimate would make it about the same as Director's Station.
