[NHCOLL-L:2082] Ideas for a new ledger system?

[Christopher Conroy]

Hello,

       At the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology we are designing a ledger 
for a printed version of our catalog. Until now, we have had a 
handwritten card file for accessions and catalogs. Since many of our 
accessions now come with a spreadsheet or database, or we organize 
accessions with spreadsheets, we are planning to catalog 
electronically and print out a hard copy. Since this is a new concept 
for us, we would be interested to see examples of other museums' 
ledgers (or card catalogs) that have been printed out from a database.
       If you would be willing to send us a digital copy of a sample 
page or two of your museum's ledger, we would appreciate it. Please 
respond to me directly, not to the whole list.

Thanks,

Chris
