I have given this some thought myself lately because my files are a disaster. My business background is in database management so I am actually embarassed when friends see my computer right now.....

I know for certain the MS Access has a template for books. In adddition, even really old versions of Goldmine would work as well and provide easy reference between author and title - showing relationships without having to create them yourself. I am not quite as fond of the reporting functions but I really don't plan on running any reports...just keeping things in order. One of the things I really like about goldmine is the ultra simple way to link the file to the record.

However, these would have to be managed from the desk or laptop...I don't think I would ever be happy with a "Pocket" versions of these databases.

If neither of these sounds good just start with a simple spreadsheet. At least when you find a program the data will be in order.

I hope that helps. If anyone hears of something that is more portable I would also like to hear of it!

Good luck!
