face=Calibri>For twenty years now, our library automation has been running on
ISIS software: first on the good old CDS/ISIS, then on Winisis and finally on
Weblis. Now we have migrated to Aleph, not because we needed or wanted to, but
because our college is part of an association of more than ten colleges and
one university and all services are gradually integrating.

these two decades ISIS and the ISIS users group stimulated us to solve so many
automation challenges on our own or with the help of ISIS users from faraway
places like South America, India or Africa. Through ISIS, I have met some
wonderful people: Giampoalo del Bigio, Jean-Claude Dauphin, Ernesto Spinak,
Guilda Ascentio, Henrik Rybinski, Egbert de Smet and <SPAN

face=Calibri>For the last seven years we have been using Weblis, which has
never let us down, and allowed us to do much more than just creating a library
catalogue. (Personally I have very good memories of the Weblis training I have
attended in Warsaw with Prof. Rybinki and his team: it were the best two weeks
of 2005.)<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

migrate to ABCD, which is, as you all know, the next generation in ISIS
library automation. Our <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>library
will not be one of the ABCD users, but I hope to follow up on ABCD in some of
the African development aid projects we participate in, and I hope to use it
as a training tool in the library school where I am
teaching.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
