Dear Laura: We have Millennium and are doing this. We have a few issues with images not being available, but that is a separate problem we are working on: http://mylibraryeu.fmwr.net Millennium is great because your RSS feed can be pulled right back into the WebPAC without requiring an outside source like Yahoo. I would be happy to tell you more about it offline if you are interested. :-) -- In peace, Amy M.
