There was also a presentation about this very topic at the NASIG conference
this past weekend.  The two speakers were:

Alfred Kraemer, Medical College of Wisconsin
Abigail Bordeaux, Binghamton University Libraries

Alfred in particular is using an Access database, combined with Cold
Fusion, I believe.  Both were very knowledgeable.
