Hi,
The program I use is called Your Home Library : The Complete System
for Organizing, Locating, Referencing, and Maintaining a Home
Library. I think Barnes & Noble has it for around $40. I bought mine
through Bookcloseouts years ago.
Here is a snip it from the product: From the Publisher
For the general book lover, someone whose ardor for the printed word
has led to stacks of yet-to-be-read volumes on floors and other
surfaces, here's a great, enjoyable way to keep track of them all.
This comprehensive kit draws upon the expertise of one of the world's
greatest libraries, the only facility of its kind with both world-
class research and circulating collections. It includes a CD
containing custom software to organize and record your book
collection by title, author, subject, location on your bookshelf, and
numerous additional useful categories. Also included are beautiful
bookplates, an instruction manual, and an instructive volume on
creating and organizing home libraries, written by an experience
librarian. The 96-page book celebrates the myriad of joys of being a
book lover, and addresses such issues as evaluating and organizing a
collection, and keeping it in place with bookends and shelves; caring
for books, and the art of loaning books that are actually returned.
I like the location of bookshelf, when we need a book lets say for
history study, I can type in World War II, it will bring all our
books, videos,and other items we may have on this subject and it will
also tell me where to find it.(location in the house). We have all
7,000 of our books listed in this data base,from childrens books,
science, history, cd's, tapes everything. It doesn't come with a
scanner, so yes, there is a lot of typing.
Hope this helps,
Elizabeth
