The ideal solution would allow us to produce or derive both types of material from the same source, which would include extracting existing information from our Catalog/Schedule databases. Oregon State currently maintains much of the information separately for both media types, but does extract database information for inclusion in both. The extraction software currently in use for the printed publications is obsolete and no is longer supported by the vendor. The electronic publication relies on Web-based tools, extracting data in real-time. Does your institution currently integrate printed and electronic publications (Catalog and Schedule or other)? If so, what software and/or tools do you use? Are you satisfied with the productivity, flexibility and level of support required? Does your institution extract database information for use in printed or electronic publications? What software and/or tools do you use? Are you satisfied with the productivity, flexibility and level of support required? Does your institution out-source printed or electronic publications? What vendors have you dealt with? Are you satisfied with the products, productivity, flexibility and level of support? Basically, we are looking for any leads to help us decide what to do. If your institution is doing or has done a similar investigation, I would like to hear from you. Further, is there anyone anywhere, that you have had contact with that you believe might be doing something like this, I would be interested in hearing about it. Thanks is advance.

Main problem, though, was power. Power losses in places like 3-star motels, airports, etc were recurrent - like once every other hour or so. Prior experience in E Europe, Russia also indicative that power very very dirty in less developed areas. Power accessories get fried.

We hope to load it on our server and run it in a test environment to see if it works well for curricular support. I would also like to know what results others have with their programs.
