Our library system has used EBSCONET for several years.  It is not a check
in system for management control, however, we use it to place claims,
orders, and renewals.  We also use many of its other features, including
missing copy bank, pricing, title look up, etc.  We find it extremely easy
and useful.  Hope this helps.
