[LM_NET] GEN: union catalog

[Norma Thiese <nthiese@AEA1.K12.IA.US>]

Questions about creating a web-based union card catalog:

I'm looking for help putting together a union catalog where multiple
libraries in a district are searchable at once and is web-based.

I'm particularly looking for assistance with the Alexandria automation
program where one can put existing multiple libraries into one database
and make it web-based. Getting that accomplished seems to be an
expensive task.

Any tips like how to identify what library the book is in, handling
duplicate titles, etc.?

Thank you much.
