I am posting this on behalf of the Art Department here. They are
currently investigating the possibility of automating their slide
collection, that is, installing a database of some sort that could
be consulted to retrieve information on any given slide in their
collection. The database would have to be searchable on a variety of
keys (they haven't decided exactly what keys they want). The hardware
they have is a Macintosh with a hard disk (20M). We are currently
looking at Reflex but we have not determined whether is would be
suitable. The system ideally should also be able to print (tiny!)
labels. Each slide in their collection has a unique (?) three line
"key" and they want the system to be able to print these labels.
Currently, we are using Word 3.0 and simply typing the information
in and printing it out (using 6pt Geneva, page size 5/8ths in.). Does
anyone know of such a slide collection system for a Macintosh? Please
send me any info that you have. Thanx.
