Re: [LM_NET] GEN: Library catalogs

[mhung <mmhung@GMAIL.COM>]

Library system is a high cost low return business, as there are not many
libraries in the world. Small system library Alex.. is quite good with
internationally recognised standards, so I would recommend that. If you ask
for some local made system, you do really have to check if there is enough
support with international standards etc.
