I've had little use for a database until now, but I find that I have a growing need for something to keep track of my growing library of photocopies of journal articles. (I'm a graduate student in cognitive psychology, so I'm collecting these things at an alarming rate.) Any suggestions on what to use? I saw a Hypercard stack on sumex-aim that looked promising, but it doesn't really suit my purposes (I want to be able to search for ANY author of a paper, and this database only had one author field, just for starters). I'm not very concerned with how neatly the data lines up or anything; I just want to be able to search for an author, title, or subject, and find out everything else I've entered, including (most importantly) where I've stored the full paper. I was thinking that one of the integrated packages, like ClarisWorks or GreatWorks, might suit my purposes for a relatively low price, but I'm not positive of that. What about a specialized bibliography database? Would one of those provide any advantages over something cheaper? Does anybody know of a PD or shareware program that might help me? I'll try to keep up with this newsgroup for a couple of weeks; after that, please e-mail responses. Thanks for any help. --Rod Smith RSMITH@PEARL.TUFTS.EDU
