system -Reply You may wish to look at the ILS report from the FLICC IT Assessment (http://lcweb.loc.gov/flicc/itmenu.html) for federal libraries using various ILS systems. No one is listed for TLC, but the IT Assessment is pretty new and hopefully more federal libraries will take the time to participate in the upcoming weeks. In the meantime there are libraries listed for several other vendors. Susan M.

Please excuse any duplication. Are there any federal libraries which have used or are currently using the Total Library Computerization (TLC) library automation system? What do you think are the pros and cons of this system? Would you recommend it and the vendor? We are looking into automating the library (primarily a law library) and I saw a demo of this product at the INEX exhibit in Washington, D.C. I am also interested in learning what other systems are in use at small to medium-sized federal libraries. Please respond to me personally. If there is sufficient interest, I will summarize for the list. Jeanne T.
