[LM_NET] TAR: library automation systems

[Amy Self <librariangelist@YAHOO.COM>]

Dear wise ones,
   The librarians in our district talked a little this
year about possibly changing automation systems in the
(hopefully near) future.  We would like something with
a web-based catalog, and something we could by as a
district and install on a central server would be
sweet.  We of course would need functions including
cataloging, circulation, reports, and OPAC.  I started
looking around online and there were so many different
choices (each saying they're the best), so I thought
I'd dip into the well of knowledge that is LM_NET. 
Any suggestions?  
    We're all Windows, with some on 98 and some on XP.
 We also have no idea what we would be able to spend -
and I have no idea how much this type of thing would
cost.  Any info provided will be appreciated - I can
also post a hit if I get enough responses and people
are interested.  Thanks in advance.
