ILS for Distance Education

Hi All,

I work at a small-medium sized library in an entirely
low-residency college.
Has anyone else who fits that sort of profile has found an
ILS that works
reasonably well for the more non-traditional models of
lending activity. By
this I mean items not often used on campus, very long loan
periods, etc. As
an institution, we really would rather go OSS and are aware
of Koha, but are
there any others? Also, does anyone at an institution like
ours use OSS, or
even if you have a distance element in your on-campus
school, do you run
into trouble with the different loan requirement for
distance students?

I'm just ferreting right now, gathering all the info. Even
if your software
isn't open source but you simply couldn't do business
without it, tell me
that, too. Or if you use OSS regardless of your library type
and just love
it, that's handy.

Thank you so much!
