McHENRY, IL - November 15, 2001 - Follett Software Company, the leading provider of K-12 library automation software, and MITINET/marc™, announced plans to integrate MARC Magician library record cleanup from MITINET/marc into Follett's upcoming v5.0 of Catalog Plus®, to be released in early 2002. Follett Software is the only K-12 vendor to feature seamless integration between MARC Magician and its library automation software.
Easy Record Clean-Up, with One-Click Data Transfer
