[LM_NET] Target: Text Tracks software

[Pat Accorinti <pacc831@PACBELL.NET>]

A number of the schools in my district are looking at Tracks and Text Tracks 
software to check out textbooks to students. The demo looked good because our ASB 
person has to record lost textbooks manually now, but I'm still a little leary. 
There is a web based module that lets teachers check textbooks in and out from 
their computer. The program is supposed to use the barcodes we are currently using 
with our library circulation system. I wonder how fast the system will be because 
our current library software is so slow that many teachers balk at checking books 
out in their classrooms. I don't want the library to become totally responsible for 
checking textbooks in and out. Has anyone has experience with this product?
