Organizing Reference Books, Rules, Boardgames, Miniatures,..

Hi folks,

Looking for one of my reference books the other day I decided I had to get
them organized! I've also got lots of board games, and I don't know how
many rules sets. I followed GOOGLE and TUCOWS but there are a host of
indexing databases out there none of which seemed to be what I needed. Does
anyone have any advice.

I'd like one that would record full publication data, mostly for insurance
purposes, that would allow me to establish my own classification scheme,
and, ideally, would allow me to make notes from the reference texts that
could be linked in some way.

Thanks Joseph.

You'll end up using it for darn near everything.
It can't do six million things like MS products, but it is a very powerful,
easy to use database.

I have for many years used the database Idealist, with free format
text fields, originally produced by Blackwells, and now by Bekon at
