- In the fall, I will be one of 3 "librarians" for a small reading
- room (> 2000 books and journals) for a Humanities department
- in my university. I've been asked to put the card catalog and
- "check out system" onto a database. (The room has a Mac and
- an IBM.)
-
- Could anyone suggest appropiate database software for this? I've
- used excel a little, but I'm wondering if there might be something
- else available.
-
- Please e-mail any suggestion to me. Thanks in advance!
