I'm currently responsible for a Hypercard stack here at Cornell University
called MacPAC.  Both MacPAC and MacNOTIS, from Texas A&M, are front-ends
for the NOTIS library catalog system on IBM 370s.  MacNOTIS is very
nicely done, but is somewhat specific to the Texas A&M environment.  MacPAC
is somewhat simpler, but it has been successfully used on several
different NOTIS systems.

For more info, write me at jeh@vax5.cit.cornell.edu, and I'll see that
something gets sent your way.
