HUNTSVILLE, Ala.—September 28, 2005—SirsiDynix announced today, in cooperation with the Mississippi Library Commission, an appeal to its customers to donate quality PCs for use by Mississippi libraries in serving people and entire communities affected by Hurricane Katrina.

• Complete unit, including base, monitor, mouse, keyboard, cables, and operating system and browser software installed
• Recently manufactured – no more than 3 years old
• Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP operating system
