I like best about this Library that the catalog module provides for the creation and updating of catalog and holding records. You can import records from standard MARC format, hand enter records, or pull records from one of many online resources, including our Z39.50 connection to the Library of Congress. The Z39.50 protocal can also be used by client applications to search your own library in a vendor independent manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
