DES PLAINES, ILLINOIS, Jan. 24, 2002: Endeavor Information Systems announced today the selection of the Voyager integrated library management system at academic and special libraries across North America.

"We continue to strengthen the Voyager system to be the preferred ILS for large and small academic and research libraries who want extensive search and retrieval capabilities, straightforward technical services practices and a complete system in one package," said Roland Dietz, Endeavor President and CEO. "Voyager is an ideal choice for libraries because it is designed with open architecture, which means easy integration with current library practices, and because Endeavor is a leader in integration of the key standards that are important to all libraries." - Rowan University, Glassboro, NJ replaces a DRA system with Voyager to serve 9,500 users with 350,000 volumes, 3,000 periodicals and over 100 e-journals.
