Rose) Joe, I use a program from Professional Software, Glen Ridge, NJ, 973-748-7658. We had the same problem you have, when we purchased this program. I have been using it since 1992. We just received the update for the year 2000. There are some changes I have to get use to now. It is an ok program, and does most of what I want, but there are several things I think could be better. If you have any questions call of e-mail me.

Rose" <4buds@GTE.NET> Subject: Serials Management Standalone Software Serials folks, I sure could use any information you could provide about standalone serials management and/or control software. I did a search on the archives and noticed that several have asked this question before, but the results have not been posted -- or else there was no advice given. The last reference I got was in 1997, so I hope this question hasn't been asked too recently. We are in a situation where the automation software used by my small college library does not have a serials module, nor do I expect one in the near future. As there is no possibility to change automation products now (nor in the near future) I need to investigate standalone serials management software. I've obtained a demo of "Magazine Manager" and the one from Right On Programs. Are there any others that someone on the list has used and found adequate -- or (dare I hope) "stellar"? Any that are Windows based? I looked on the Internet for those referenced in a couple of messages from 1995 or 1996, but it seems that some of these have apparently gone defunct in the intervening two years. Anyway, any help from you all out there would be most welcome. Thanks, Joe H. Rose Chatlos Library, Florida College
