Hello all, I use Procite (http://www.procite.com/ to keep my bibliography, mostly because it has a good Z39.5 client. Z39.50 http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/ is an international standard used by many libraries (though not the Royal Dutch Library, duizend bliksembommen!) for data interchange. In the case of procite, what this means is that I can download book information, including call numbers and subject fields directly from various libraries. Amongst other things, it has made it quite easy to rearrange my personal library using LoC call numbers (not a perfect system, of course, but since it comes ready made, I can't complain).
Anyway, I want now to built an on-line catalogue of my stuff, so I can check if I own something when I am in a foreign library. Originally, I was just going to dumpt the procite format to a database (it is built on a 45 field database) and use PHP and MySQL to built a simple front end. But then I began to wonder if perhaps an open source system already existed. Does anybody know of one? Basically what I need is a robust bibliographic database with a Z39.50 client built in.
