Have any users of commercial library systems substituted their vendor's
web catalog interface as the main catalog access from workstations within
their libraries, and given up proprietary clients or terminal
interfaces?  Or is the primary use of web access for patron workstations
outside the libraries?  I'd like to hear of issues and results if you've
done it, talked about it, rejected it, whatever.
