Johannes,
We have all our primary and secondary source material (microfilms, books, new and old editions, etc.) in several File Maker Pro databases (running on Macs), which can be searched for as many criteria as you choose to enter originally (composer, performing forces, performance materials, even who-has-what, and so on). The data base is very flexible and easy to set up, but it's important to have the right concept or plan for your needs when creating it. We have an older version of the programm (FMP 6) but I believe they're up to version 9 by now, which has much more power than we need...
Hope this helps.
MfG
Eric

My orchestra needs to create a database for its small, but growing music library. Can someone give me some hints on how to do this, preferable on a Mac? I want something which is easy to maintain and where I can see how many string parts we have, perhaps also who borrows which part, etc.
