[I am posting this for someone here at the University, feel free to
 address replies to me - bzs]

We're looking for a text management system that could be used to store
and manage university publications and fragments of publications. The
first application would be the course catalogs, which need to be
created annually by gathering together thousands of individual course
descriptions, a few dozen boilerplate sections, and some
catalog-specific text. We need a system that would let us keep all
these separate pieces in some sort of database for maintenance by
various departments and then let the printer collect them together and
feed them to the typesetter when they are ready to be printed.

If anybody knows of either a system specifically designed to manage
publications like this or a system that could be adapted, please drop
a line. (If it can also talk TCP/IP, that's even better.)

Thanks.
