That sounds helpful.  I'd like a copy, whenever you're ready.
BTW, how much data is it?  I'm hoping to populate the database
with at least 50,000 items, so I may end up web-sucking the
library of congress or doing something similar.

I'm hitting up local libraries for data too, but they are
(understandably) reluctant to share that sort of data.  I think
I'll probably just generate it, though it may be difficult to
make it accurately reflect real usage that way.

My overall goal is to get libraries in my area to use open-source
software, for various practical and financial benefits.  But
first, I need to demonstrate that it works.  :)
