[WEB4LIB] PC signup software

[Mark Ellis]

Maureen,

We've been using Library Online <http://www.sri.bc.ca/library.htm> for over
three years now and are very happy with it.  It was originally a custom
product, written to our specifications, but has since assumed a life of it's
own. Booking and management are both web based.

I believe SRI can give you online access to a demo system.

It probably wouldn't be cost effective to implement it for less than fifteen
or twenty PCs, as it uses a SQL Server backend.  However, at the other end,
it scales to hundreds of PCs and dozens of locations and has been
implemented in some very large library systems.
