Hi - we just talked with e-tapestry. Their online donor database program
sounds good, is expensive for us ($4-5000) but has some good ideas.   I
know there are others.  I have heard from some folks that LACES is
difficult.

> Hello.  New Mexico has adopted the LACES program, a product of

> LiteracyPro, for all ABE programs in the state.  LACES is an on-line

> system.  At this time we have not done input from off-site locations but

> it is possible to do.  Literacy Volunteers of Santa Fe has used the

> LiteracyPro database (not web-based), put out by the same company, for

> several years.  LiteracyPro (the database) has extra components for

> entering tutor and donor information.  We are waiting for the

> LiteracyPro database to become web-based and more compatible with LACES

> so that we can combine the data.  You should be able to find

> LiteracyPro.com on the web.  Hope this helps.
