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.

<div style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="yiv1888705714MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">In 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 style=""> </span>many others.</font></font></span></div>
<div style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="yiv1888705714MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><font size="3"><font 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.)</font></font></span></div>
<div style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="yiv1888705714MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Although Weblis still was doing a great job for us, we now would migrate to ABCD, which is, as you all know, the next generation
in ISIS library automation. Our <span style=""> </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></div>

or her knowledge or experiences concerning ISIS over all these years.</font></span></div>
