i am not sure about "not capable", well, hmmmmmmmmmm, maybe your right.

the nls just can't figure out a way of networking patrons at low
cost and in fact, they can't figure a way to network their
participating libraries into the system, i.e., B.R.S., but my
soloution is simple.

An 800 BBS with compressed year end catalogs and ordering
capabilities via message bases.  this would be for the regional
libraries to set up.  this is the cheaper way to go and folks could
have access...
