[Drew, Bill]

The following announcement was made this morning.  I thought there might be
some interest here. -- Bill Drew

The Office of Library and Information Services is pleased to announce
that the contract for the Ex Libris ALEPH500 library management system
has received final approval by the Office of the State Comptroller. The
new software is a cornerstone of the State University's SUNYConnect
initiative, which is improving library services throughout the State
University of New York. The pilot implementation sites proposed by the
SUNYConnect Advisory Council can now move forward from the planning
stages to the actual implementation process.  The pilot sites are
Tompkins-Cortland Community College, the University Colleges at Fredonia
and Oswego and the University Centers at Binghamton, Buffalo, and Stony
Brook. Sincere thanks go to Mary Ann Corsetti, Director of Contract
Development, for her work in shepherding the contract through the
approval process.
