When our library was looking at various options for automation, we ran
into a very nice comprehensive automation software package which can be
used on PC's (or Mac's) from Caspr, Inc. It has all the modules
available, including: catalog, circulation, acquistions, and serials.
It seemed a very reasonable price and is quite easy to use, given its
point-and-click user interface. It might be worth looking into. It
strikes me as a very good solution for a firm library.
Caspr, Inc.
635 Vaqueros Ave.
Sunnyvale, CA 94086

Good luck.
