Subject:      Library Automation Software for Unix
Hello,
We are looking for the library automation  software
which runs on UNIX platform. Therefore, it would be appreciated,
if somebody send me list of library automation softwares
supported on  UNIX platform.
Any comments about these softwares are wellcome.
A quick answer would be appreciated.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Let me briefly describe our environment;
METU campus has a fiber-optic token ring backbone, and there are
number of departmental networks connected to that. These departmental
LANs are either UNIX Networks or Novell/Netware or  BANYAN/Vines running
PC Networks. ALso University has a IBM3090 Mainframe -planning
to install AIX/ESA-  which is also accessible thru the backbone network.
The Common protocol between all of these entities is TCP/IP.
