The library system is the Ex Libris Aleph system, and the nice thing about it is that there is an xml interface to the catalogue, which makes it easier to build this type of thing on top of it. I suspect that the real issue here is going to be how effective this type of interface can be. I need to look at some of the other existing aim bots to see how there interfaces work... any suggestions would be welcome.
