I'm not sure whether you mean you need help setting up a catalogue system
or a loan system. I am presuming the former.
I use a normal everyday database program to organise our library - (we used
to use the database program in Microsoft Works then changed to
Paradox which is much more powerful)
Each category has a separate table (file) :- orchestra; string
orchestra; wind band; brass band; flute group; clarinet group; wind
ensemble.
The pieces are catalogued under the name of the composer and I print
off a catologue listing the pieces in order of composer and in order of
title.
Even if the catalogue is lost or stolen, so long as you know the name of
the composer (and you should) most pieces can be found within seconds. Of
course there's still the computer database which can be searched until a new
copy is printed.
(One department was setup by someone else and pieces are simply added to
the end as they are bought. This works perfectly until the printed
catologue disappears, then you have to search through over 800 folders until you
find the one you want - I'm hoping to sort that one out soon!)
The same programme also prints labels for the boxes/folders.
All the best,
Lawrence
