Well, I'm not a librarian or even using that system. 
They do put info on books into it for patrons to look
up.  and they do use it to look up stuff.

They also do have a backup feature meaning they save
the "database" onto disks for backup.  and I do have
those.

Also, ResourceMate, one of the apps we are looking at,
does, according to their web site, import the data
from Librarians helper into their program.  

I havent played with Librarians helper enough to know
much about it.  I'm just getting started on this
project.
