[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] How does the software work?

[Michael Nolan]

We don't have textbook tracking software ourselves, though our admininstration is eager to get it.  I've seen demos of products from http://www.textbooktracker.com/ 
and http://www.fsc.follett.com/products/destiny/textbookmanager/   Those two companies seem to be the biggest players in the textbook management market.

I think looking at their sites would tell you much better than I could what textbook tracking software can do for schools.

Hey Michael, thanks!  Could you explain what what a good textbook
manager component would do?  I'd love to get more discussion going on
features Evergreen is missing or could use improvement in.  Others
might be interested too; even something specific for a school library
might help with a bigger picture or framework that could work well
with special, public and higher ed libraries.
