interested in any responses.  It looks really good!

Subject: [Videolib] Public Librarians... Hoopla??

Hello Collective Wisdom,
I am curious to see if any of the public librarians reading this have
Midwest Tapes' Hoopla...?  Does anyone have any experience with it or know
of anyone who has it?  Our library is thinking about jumping on, but I just
wanted to know if anyone can comment on it. How well does it work, pluses
and minuses, etc.  Thanks in advance for your help.
Feel free to contact me off list.

Thanks,
Julie

between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
