Dear Ian The Open University has also gone for EnCompass which we are currently starting to set up. This is being project-managed by Anne Ramsden, our IT Projects Manager, who also undertook an evaluation of Metalib and Zportal before we bought EnCompass.

I know from the Ex Libris site who has acquired (though not necessarily yet implemented) Metalib and that Edinburgh are going for ENCompass, but I'd be interested to hear from others. Many thanks. -------------------------------------------- Ian Winship, Electronic Services Manager Learning Resources, Northumbria University City Campus Library, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 8ST, UK email: [log in to unmask] tel: 0191 227 4150 fax: 0191 227 4563
