We are a small academic library in search of recommendations for new
acquisitions software.  Our current software allows us to record common
information such as author, title, ISBN, price, date ordered, status, call
number, and the professor who requested the item.  This software also keeps
a running total of each department's materials budget and budget number, the
amount spent from the budget, and the percentage of the total budget spent.


In addition to these current capabilities, We have a couple of features we
desire with the new software:
1.  The ability to produce a report showing the actual amount of the budget
spent instead of only the percentage spent.
2.  The ability to print a monthly report of the new materials added to the
collection (i.e. an invoice).
3.  The ability to produce a list of items ordered by each professor or
department (Currently, we can only print a monthly report of how much is
spent per budget but not a report of the items ordered).

Any and all feedback is appreciated.
