Subject: Windows based Acquisitions software?

Hello:

Can anyone recommend a decent Windows based acquisitions software
program for tracking purchases and fund accounting that might be good
enough for a medium sized academic library? Our needs are very
straightforward. We don't have multiple branches, for example.

We have a DYNIX automated system and the Acquisitions module is awful in
terms of easily generating reports, etc.

We used to use Bibbase, but I don't think it is around anymore.

Baker and Taylor has a product call Libris 2020, or something like that,
but I can't find any colleges using it, and when I talked to the
company, they seemed puzzled that I was even asking.

Thanks for your time.
