TECH: Card Cataloguing Software

[Patti Meyer <PJMEB14@AOL.COM>]

Hi,
I am new to this WEB site and I am new to Library work.  I was asked to take
total control of our small school (150 students---pre-K through 8th grade)
library.  I had no idea it was this much work.  But I am excited about it!
 Here is my main question right now.  Is there a user friendly software to
type up all of my subject-author-title-shelf list cards as well as the book
card and spine labels??  I am not use to working in DOS.  I have The
Librarian's Helper on a trial basis, but it seems like it has quite a few
glitches.  I would prefer a WINDOWS program.  And I am totally unfamiliar
with a dot-matrix printer.  I do see in the library company catalogues that
they do carry a couple products for a laser printer.  Does anyone have any
input on this?  My husband just went out and purchased OFFICE 97 which
includes something called ACCESS.  Could I put the information all on here
and have it print out for me?  Rather than typing individually, the 67 books
I have here before me, I chose to send it to a company that will send me a
kit for each one.  However, this is expensive!!  In this day of modern
technology, I have to believe that there is a way to punch in all the
information only once!  As you all know, I have to get moving on
this...there's alot more to do!
Thank you for your consideration.
