1.1 What Is the Home Librarian System?

1.1.1 Basic Terminology

The Home Librarian package uses a database of “cards” that concisely describe items in your library, such as books, magazines, records, and tapes. The cards contain information such as the title of the item, the author (or performer) of the material, the publisher, the date of publication, and so on. The cards can be search by their unique keys, or by title, author, or subject. There is also a keyword table that associates keywords with cards.
