Amy,
We were in the same boat -- III library, interest in a mobile catalog,
didn't want to pay III for AirPAC -- last year. We wound up rolling
out VuFind as our "beta catalog" this year, which got us a mobile
catalog as part of the package -- as of version 1.0 VuFind has a
mobile interface. If you're in the market for a next-gen
catalog-type-thing as well, you might be able to kill two birds with
one stone.
