----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Max: here in Fort Worth, the Amon Carter, Kimbell, and Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth libraries have formed the Cultural District Library Consortium--with our primary goal being to automate the operations of all three libraries in one system. We're only at the very beginning stages, but one of our challenges is to provide external database access, such as Citadel, etc. While the pricing may be a little high for us to consider individually, I hope we will be in a better position to acquire these tools as a consortium. -------------------- Milan R.
