hi there,

i need to create a library system in access that will allow me to book out
and return books. However i am not the best ay access. Are there any
templates i could download to get the job done or download and maybe adjust
to fit my needs?

Thanks in advance for responses.
 
Dear Amrit:

IMHO, creating a full-featured library system could be a major project, even
for an experienced Access professional. As you say you are new to Access, I
would suggest that you may wish to do some research before you attempt this
project. A quick Google search reveals many dozens of vendors selling a wide
variety of library management software. For example, you might look at the
following:

http://directory.google.com/Top/Reference/Libraries/Library_and_Information_Science/Software/

Or, you can find shareware library systems as well, with a search at
www.tucows.com, for example. Creating a library system yourself, from
scratch, could be a very costly business! You will probably find that a
professionally written commercial package would be much more cost effective.

I am a teacher-librarian for a small school, and I have created a library
system for my school in Microsoft Access. There were some valid reasons that
I did this, but I could never claim (at least not with a straight face! <g>)
that this was the most cost effective or efficient solution! ;)

Fred, Fred, Fred. Clearly you're not a used car salesman, cell phone
salesman, consultant or management material. Shame on you. Now go
stand in the corner. <smile>
