Book Cataloging?
Jan. 7th, 2009 12:04 pmOur household has a lot of books: roughly ten floor-to-ceiling bookshelves worth, with even more stored in boxes, and that’s not even counting the comic books!
In addition to a New Year’s purging of unneeded volumes, one thing we’ve been looking to do for quite some time is to catalog all of these books so we can track what we’ve got and, to a degree, where it is, since it can be difficult to recall if we have something (and if we still have it, or have given it away or sold it at some point).
So I turn to the collective wisdom of my readers: do you have any recommendations for library cataloging software? Mac OS X is a requirement (we’re a Mac household), with features like ease of use and portability (accessible from different machines on our network) high on the desireability list. Bonus points if it also works for any or all of: 1) comic book collections, 2) Board games and RPG boxed-sets, 3) DVDs, and 4) cabinets of herbal ingredients.
Any suggestions?
