Accessing MARVEL!

Testimony to MARVEL!

"I just wanted you [Molly Larson, Director of Rockport Public Library] to know that after our last Department Head Meeting where we viewed your recent collaboration with Tim Sample [The Marvels of MARVEL!] on the usage and capabilities of the MARVEL program, I had the opportunity to make use of my newly gained knowledge.

As you are well aware, Rockport is in the process of developing our FY08-09 Budget. I found myself needing to do research for a particular aspect of the budget. MARVEL proved invaluable in undertaking that task. I was able to find the information quickly and easily. Now that I have first hand knowledge of its capabilities, I plan adding it to my research tool bag."

Robert A. Peabody, Jr.
Town Manager, Town of Rockport
