The ExMentis system is described at http://www.infoctr.edu/misc/exment~1.htm.
I had a look and here's a quote (not an endorsement, just for your
interest):
EASY
EASY accounts for and tracks copyright license and other fees associated
with reproduction and/or transmission of material. EASY also accounts for
other billable transactions such as billable hours, case expenses, etc.
Invoices can be generated by EASY or information can be extracted from
EASY for the firm's billing system.
CURE
CURE performs all the tasks of EASY PLUS accounts for interlibrary loan
transactions, statistics, and costs.
MAJOR
MAJOR includes all the features and benefits of EASY and CURE PLUS tracks
and accounts for transactions and services among departments, offices, and
branches.
The use of the ExMENTIS series of programs reduces risk and provides a
vehicle for controlling cost and enhancing revenues.
