[ISLMA-Share] Alternative to Accelerated Reader

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I have Read N Quiz this year and it is working fine.  Not as robust as AR
but easy enough to use and good customer support.  Just does not have
nearly as many titles as AR and a bit tricky when you do not have the man
power to re-label your collection.  Kids have to learn to check RQ First
BEFORE they choose a book is RQ points are what they want.
