Speaking again of Filemaker. Can anyone suggest a record format suitable for cataloging a personal library, consisting of several thousand fiction and non-fiction books, story collections, periodicals, and journal articles? If I could obtain an empty file set up this way, so much the better.

The best way that I can think of to do this in FileMaker is to select
"Columnar Report Layout" in the Dialog box that comes up when you create a new
layout. Then you will have a whole lot of records stacked horizontally,
sorted however you want. Then you could do something like Author's last
name/first name/title/date/item type (f for fiction, etc.) across the page.
Good Luck.
