Church Library Program 1.23
Bowen, Lloyd C., Jr.
$30
#7142/1977
is a professional quality cataloging program for books, records and movies.
Nothing about it that we can see is specific to a church. The author explains
that it was originally written for a local church, but that it will work for
anyone needing to catalog such information. The data files are compatible
with dBase III and up.
The Book section of the program has fields for Dewey decimal number, author
abbreviation, last name and first name, title, publisher, year, accession,
subjects, source and cost. The movie section allows for an ID#, location,
length in minutes, type, title, stars, color or bw, subjects, source and cost.
The record section has fields for ID#, title, arrange/publisher, year, artist,
description (eg: 12", stereo), subjects or song titles, source and cost.
The program will print a main card, title card, shelf card and subject card
for each book; a main card, subject card and artist card for each record; and
main card and subject card for each movie; plus a full library list by title.
Because this was designed for a lending library, we were a little surprised
that no fields were provided for the borrower and date borrowed. Otherwise,
the program is intelligently designed and easy to use.
CMS-Gold

$129
#7801/0556 [3 disks]
keeps track of information about church members, organizations and activities,
contributions, and more. It lets you print mailing labels, Rolodex cards, and

Negative points are a piercing beep at each prompt and an insistence that all
data be on drive A:. Also, you cannot change the names of the committees or
the talent categories. The program is worth a look, but if you can't live with
the problems, you can probably duplicate the functions of this program with
File Express or PC-File. Requires 640K and a hard drive.
