...Auquabrowser, Enterprise (Horizon), and EBSCO - Discovery Service.
Cheers everyone. My name is Mark, and I'm new to the Libraries group.
Last April I inherited a library site built on Drupal 6 (http://www.myrcpl.com).
We are in the process of redesigning the site, and I would appreciate any information you can share regarding using the above within Drupal to create the best user experience, as well as offering catalog content to customers.
Feel free to post replies, or if you prefer, you can email me at mpruitt@myrcpl.com, or call me at 803-929-3445. Thank you all in advance.

Integrating catalog with LT4L module.
Hi,
I just finished a redesign of the Westport Public Library site, including creating a module called LT4L which may help with your catalog integration. It uses Library Thing for Libraries to pull in related content, based on node tags. Take a look and let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Lisa
AquaBrowser portal site
I'm working on a site to provide libraries in our consortium with their own launching pads for our AquaBrowser catalog. The concept is stolen from, er, inspired by a Belgian library that did something similar with Wordpress. (See http://bit.ly/bnMiTF)
I've just recruited several libraries to be in the initial test group, and have added a little bit of dummy content for demo purposes.
See http://start.prairiecat.info/library/JOPB
The really, really important thing is that the library code used in the path (JOPB in this example) matches the c_library branch code in AquaBrowser. Each library attaches its code as a taxonomy term to content for its Drupal portal, and views and various PHP snippets make use of that argument to build the correct displays and AquaBrowser links for each library.
I'm looking forward to seeing what our test libraries do with the site over the next couple months.
