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!
