This is an urgent request regarding library software for Macs. I work in
a small research lab, which has a large variety of material to classify.
Previously we used Hypercard to do all the cataloging, but it is very
slow and top-heavy for doing searches. We would like some software
which is less CPU intensive, can easily dump a galley report in ASCII
for use by other programs and for other conversions in the future, and
yet can permit searches by title, author, subject, technical report,
internal communication, memo, other media, etc. Most of our machinery
are Macs, but we have a PC and Unix world (Suns) as well. We are
looking to devote one microcomputer to this problem (for a library from
500-1000 items). Does anyone know of good software which will do the
trick, and requires the minimum of personnel overhead (ie. just data
entry)? Thanks to all who respond (either to HUMANIST or myself
directly. I cannot respond regularly, but I will be collecting the data
that I see.

A visiting faculty member from Hungary is considering purchasing
a Macintosh computer here and taking it back to Europe with him
when he returns in the fall. Questions of power variations are a
concern. Would it be better for him to wait and buy the equipment
in Germany during his return trip?
Advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
