We don't use a specific book software. We use
Access. I know a lot of people aren't fond of it.
But, by having a piece of software called
Documents to Go on our PDA's we can export a list
of books from the Access database to the PDA's
including whatever fields we want and voila! An
easily carried list of every book in our collection.
We know what you mean by buying duplicates. We
used to do that a lot. Before we had the PDA's we
had to print out the book list and put it in a
notebook. We have over 12,000 books in our
collection (no, not all, or even most, costume
books) that notebook was very heavy.
We also use our PDA's to keep lists of
CDs/Records and DVDs as well as a few other things.

In February there was a discussion about using software about getting
information about published books into an inventory from websites.
One, mentioned by Kimiko, was Book Collector, where you enter the ISBN
number and the software does the research using amazon.com for
example. There was another program mentioned where you type in the
book title, but I didn't keep the information for some reason. Can
anyone tell me what that program is called? Are these two programs,
and any others that people have tried for both Mac and PC? I've been
trying to write down the information on my inventory of costume and
sewing books, but it's taking forever three nights of work and I
only have about 75 of the books listed. And then I'll have to transfer
from hand-written forms to software.
