Another good resource is the June 2003 issue of 'Computers in
Libraries.' There's an article by Pam Cibbarelli on the ILS market for
school libraries. The top three rated systems from user feeback were
Surpass (www.SurpassSoftware.com), Millenniumm (www.iii.com), and Media
Management Software (gscweb.com).

Hi Noel,
We get this question on a fairly regular basis, i.e. "what can I get
for
my small school or church library?" I direct people to the following:
http://www.cslib.org/smalllibstand.htm
It has a pretty good overview of costs associated with the small ILS
market.
