Lotus Welcomes You to the Presentation Library database!

To begin using your Presentation Library you need Lotus Freelance 
Graphics Release 2.01 and Lotus Notes Release 3.0. This Presentation 
Library provides a unique way of sharing, organizing, distributing, 
and tracking presentations created using Freelance through the Notes 
environment. It also demonstrates the unique ways Lotus applications 
integrate with Notes to make it easier for groups to work together.

The Presentation Library has several advantages over conventional file 
management strategies. The library offers you important presentation 
information. Information about presentation content, subject, category, 
and last revision date that helps you manage and use the presentations 
in the database. Also,

    Since you store presentations in one central database, workgroup
    members have easy access to them.

    You can replicate the database to remote sites to keep group
    members at different locations up to date.
    
    You can control access to presentations using the security
    capabilities built into Notes.
    
The diskette you've received includes a Notes Presentation Library 
database template (preslib.ntf) and a Sample Presentation Library database 
(samplib.nsf). To create working databases from either the template or 
the sample, simply copy the database files to your local hard drive or to 
a Notes server. To make a database from the template file (preslib.ntf), 
choose the File New Database command. To use the sample (samplib.nsf), 
choose the File Database Open command. The Sample Presentation Library 
contains a handful of demonstration presentation documents and three 
special forms. If you need to, you can customize the template or the 
sample database to suit the needs of your organization by modifying the
existing views or forms, or by creating brand new ones.

More detailed information is available in the Using Database and About 
Database documents found under the Help menu.  Please take a look at 
these documents before using the Presentation Library.

Lotus leads the industry in its development and commitment to workgroup 
applications. The Presentation Library is another example of Lotus 
delivering this commitment to you right now. Lotus continues to streamline 
your business processes by allowing your employees to work together more 
easily than ever.
