It was written by a professional librarian with the layperson in mind see <A HREF="aboutpal.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Story of PAL"><U>Story of PAL</U></A>. </div> <bR> <div> PAL customers include libraries in Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Maine, Mariana Islands, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Canada, Mexico, and here in California (we also have installations overseas in United Kingdom, Malaysia, Mongolia and Nigeria).</div> <bR> <div> PAL is an industrial-strength program which can accomodate up to 16 million records per panel (e.g, catalog items). - PAL is networkable, so that users, departments, and libraries can share data simultaneously.</div> <bR> <div> - Port your library catalog to the internet via Library Avenue (<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>http://www.libraryavenue.com</U></FONT>). (This is new feature in version 3.4) </div> <bR> <div> - Cataloging is quicker using built-in database of titles (as a picklist). (This is new feature in version 3.4) We intend that this database will be updated by input from member libraries of Library Avenue School Library Consortium. However, PAL, by its design, is intended for the small K-12 school library. Our niche market is the many private school libraries not receiving public funding - on a very limited budget. That's why we provide E-Mail support and support from our website but not telephone support. </div> <bR> <div> PAL STARTER KIT Our Starter Kit includes just about all essential materials needed to begin automating your library. It includes the following: </div> <div> - Pro Tracer or UF-101 CCD Barcode Scanner (depending on availability) (much faster read rate than the wand scanners - a $175.00 retail value in itself); </div> <div> - PAL, v3.4 Library Automation Software (network version, single licence); </div> <div> - 100 custom printed Library Cards (upload your library logo to us);</div> <div> - Lifetime free membership to Library Avenue School Library Consortium (Post your library catalog to the web on your library's own web page (which you can update using only your browser) </div> <div> - 2,000 Custom Pre-Printed Barcode Labels; </div> <div> - 100 Sample (Brodart) Barcode Label Protectors; </div> <div> - 2,000 Spine Labels; </div> <div> - 90 Overdue Post Cards for PAL; and More. </div> <bR> <div> The cost of the Starter Kit (including tax) is only $179.99.  You can purchase by credit cart by <A HREF="http://www.neuton.net/index.php?action=item&id=18&prevaction=category&previd=2&prevstart=0" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.neuton.net/index.php?action=i"><U>clicking here</U></A></div> <bR> <div> When ordering, be sure to email us your shipping address and the exact name of the library or organization (to be printed on your barcode labels). We expect to ship your order out by priority mail within 24 hours of receiving payment (except weekends & holidays). </div> <bR> <div> The included CCD bar code reader is easy to install. A 'Y' connection (included) plugs into the PC's keyboard port. This connects both the bar code reader and the keyboard (which you currently use). No external power source is necessary. </div> <bR> <div> MORE ABOUT PAL </div> <bR> <div> PAL, v.3.4 will run on just about any PC (not MAC) running DOS 3.0 or higher. However a Pentium I or higher is recommended. You also need a 3 1/2' floppy drive to install the program. To print spine labels, overdue notices and other reports you will need a printer. Reports can be printed on any printer that supports DOS (i.e., is not a 'windows only' printer). The spine label printing, however, is designed for a dot-matrix printer so each label pops up individually as the related item is cataloged. (Among other advantages, this lets you catalog a new book 'on the fly' - while someone is actually in the process of checking it out!) PAL is a DOS program which runs fine under Windows 95, 98, ME, XP, 2000. It includes cataloging, circulation, inventory, and much more! It provides for cataloging of nearly any media type, a robust barcode-driven circulation system, and many more features, such as periodicals check-in capability. It is designed to be usable with a barcode reader - or manually, without one. Written by a professional librarian, PAL takes into account special problems of the school library environment. For example, checkouts are quick. Simply scan in the library card - then scan in the item's barcode. There is no need to even touch the keyboard (unless you are alerted by a beep to a problem (e.g., borrower already has too many books checked out, etc)). </div> <bR> <div> PAL's database of subject headings and associated Dewey numbers is based on SEARS LIST OF SUBJECT HEADINGS, 15th ed. (New York, H.W.Wilson Co.). However, you can easily add to, delete, or edit the headings that come with PAL. </div> <bR> <div> Please contact us directly if you have specific questions about PAL or any other of our products.</div> <div>  <form action="http://csbmail.globalscape.com/cgi-bin/csbmail/csbmail.pl" method="POST" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"><input type="hidden" name="tlx_SortOrder" value="Name,Email,Library,Questions"><input type="hidden" name="tlx_FormIndex" value="1"><input type="hidden" name="tlx_OKMessage" value="Thank you for your contacting Neuton Data Systems"><input type="hidden" name="tlx_SendMode" value="1"><input type="hidden" name="tlx_Subject" value="A comment form was submitted"><input type="hidden" name="tlx_EmailTo" value="info@neuton.net"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td align="left">Name:<br> <input type="text" name="Name" size="30" maxlength="100"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Email:<br> <input type="text" name="Email" size="30" maxlength="100"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Name of Library:<br> <input type="text" name="Library" size="30" maxlength="100"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Questions::<br> <textarea name="Questions" rows="10" cols="30"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><input type="reset"> <input type="submit" value="Send" name="tlx_send"></td> </tr> </table> </form>   </div> <div> <A HREF="catalogabook.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Lets Catalog a Book"><U><I><B>Let's Catalog a Book</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="checkoutabook.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Lets Check Out a Book"><U><I><B>Let's Check Out a Book</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="returnabook.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Lets Return a Book"><U><I><B>Let's Return a Book</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="lookups.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Looking Up Catalog Records"><U><I><B>Looking Up Catalog Records</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="id282.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="PAL Screen Shots"><U><I><B>PAL Screen Shots</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="networkingpal.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Networking PAL"><U><I><B>Networking PAL</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="dataperfect.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="About DataPerfect"><U><I><B>About DataPerfect</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="libraryterms.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Librarianship Terminology"><U><I><B>Librarianship  Terminology</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="license.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Enduser License Agreement PAL, v. 3.4"><U><I><B>End-user License Agreement - PAL, v. 3.4</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="glossary.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Quick Glossary of Database Terminology "><U><I><B>Quick Glossary of Database Terminology     </B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="databaseterms.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Some Practical Database Terminology"><U><I><B>Some Practical Database Terminology</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="libraryavenue.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Library Avenue School Library Consortium"><U><I><B>Library Avenue School Library Consortium</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="faq.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)"><U><I><B>FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="manual.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="View PAL Manual in PDF format (Adobe rea"><U><I><B>View PAL Manual in PDF format (Adobe reader required)</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><A HREF="id160.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Neuton Data Systems Home Page"><U><I><B>Neuton Data Systems Home Page</B></I></U></A><I><B>   |   </B></I><I><B>About PAL, v. 3.4 Library Automation System</B></I></div> <bR> <div>  <script language=javascript src="http://neuton.net/cgi-script/csRecommend/csRecommend.cgi?command=showrecommend2&t=j"></script>  </div> <div>  <script language=javascript> var rndURL = (1000*Math.random()); document.write("<scr"+"ipt language=javascr"+"ipt src='http://neuton.net/cgi-scr"+"ipt/csCounter/csCounter.cgi?id=4&js=1'></scr"+"ipt>"); </script>  </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
