Subject: Re: Software question (Olga M. Majewski)

We use Microsoft Access for this and it works well.  We keep our most
up-to-date list online on the reference staff computer, and once or twice
a year print out a report so we can hand something to people who have a
long list of citations and want to know whether or not we carry particular
titles.  We put only titles on this list that we can provide fulltext for
(paper issues, microfilm, Proquest, Infotrac, etc.).

We also have an online version accessible to users from our library's Home
Page.  This list is updated about every 2 weeks or so.  If you want to
take a look at it:  http://www.pratt.lib.md.us

click Central Periodicals by Title, 1990 -
