Since it's specifically designed for library and inventory use, it should suit your purposes pretty well, I would think. I haven't tried it out in a multi-OS situation since I just use it on a Windows PC at home for cataloguing my personal book, music, and video collections, but I've been very satisfied with it under those circumstances, and I know it's received a number of awards. -- Best regards, Diana mailto:dcalder at essexcountylibrary.ca
