Abstract	An important goal of the Educational Information Exchange (EIE) of Alberta Education is to provide leadership in promoting school student record automation. This document presents a mechanism for the review, evaluation, and recommendation of school-based student records software for the EIE. The report provides an overview of the initiative to automate and begins with a description of the preparations taken prior to the beginning of the review process. The main topics covered in this section are the request for information from software vendors; formation of the working committee for the review process; and an outline of the evaluation strategy. The next section examines the software evaluation process. It consists of the following stages: short software demonstrations; half-day software demonstrations; visits to school sites; invitation to offer; and negotiations and recommendations. The fourth section provides general overviews of the top eight software packages evaluated by the working committee. The final section provides a summary of the report and concluding remarks. Nine appendixes include sample letters, a description of functional criteria for evaluating software, and a list of vendors. (JLB)
