Thanks for the kind words Guy...but actually we do have circulation
features within our Library Module.  We may not have all the 'bells and
whistles', as you put it, of a full, high-end library system, but to
manage a museum-held collection it is a very good solution.

I have contacted Jill off-list and suggested she check out our website
and the demo that one of her fellow staff members already has!

Best,
