[LM_NET] Automation Systems and Collection Age

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@FWCDS.ORG>]

What automation systems being used by school librarians DO NOT allow the librarian 
to run a "collection age analysis"?  I am assuming that most systems DO allow this, 
but are there some that do not?

Also, if you have never run a collection age analysis, is there a reason why? Do 
you have the ability to run the analysis or are others required to do this / have 
the ability to run this instead(district systems, perhaps)?

I am working on a "librarian homework assignment" for one of the workshops I 
mentioned last week, and I want to be able to realistically determine what types of 
systems don't provide this option--I use Follett (and have used Winnebago), so I 
know these two do allow the analysis, but I need others' insights and program 
information!

Any information about systems that DON'T work would be appreciated!

Thanks!
