Four longtime customers opt to remain with Dynix vision

Dynix is keeping several more of its library customers in the family: Glendale Public Library (GPL), AZ, a decade-long customer, is upgrading from its existing Dynix solution to Horizon. Dynix is especially pleased with the decision, as the library had issued an RFP and accepted bids from other vendors but decided to stay with Horizon. GPL comprises a main library and two branches, with a third branch planned for spring 2007. The collection includes more than 600,000 books, magazines, multimedia, and electronic reference databases.
