I have approximately 2000 books covering various topics and would like to 
organize them in a mac computer.  Would anyone care to suggest how to build
a database utilizing  existing online library catalog cards. Where do I start?
Which set of card files should I use? 
For example, I have the 54v Great Books of the Western World and I should like 
to type in Gibbon and have the computer show that Gibbon may be found in 
volume 40 of the Great Books.  Is there such a system?
With a little help  in the right direction I would be on my way.
Graciously
Ron Weiner

Ron:  You can use just about any general-purpose database program to do 
this, but you'll have to do some work setting up the initial record.  
There are several PC programs that are especially designed for cataloging 
home libraries, but I don't know Macs well enough to be sure what's 
there.  If you have Soft PC I would recommend PC-Card Catalog Pro, and 
could send details.
