Thanks for the input, Pierre. I've had several PDAs in the past few years, and for some reason just putting batteries in them seemed to deplete them so I just gave up and went back to the reliable datebook and pen with Post-it flags on important dates. Once I get the books listed, I'll be happy to carry my list, no matter how heavy it gets. EndNote is just too bulky for my history and costume books, and it only links to PubMed, a medical listing, so there's no automatic downloading for me.
The search continues after Costume College when I'm going to play with the free downloads and see which will be the best. As so often happens, I waited too long; I really wanted the library before CC, not after. Sigh... LynnD On 7/22/06, Pierre & Sandy Pettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

But, by having a piece of software called Documents to Go on our PDA's we can export a list of books from the Access database to the PDA's including whatever fields we want and voila! An easily carried list of every book in our collection. We know what you mean by buying duplicates. We used to do that a lot. Before we had the PDA's we had to print out the book list and put it in a notebook. We have over 12,000 books in our collection (no, not all, or even most, costume books) that notebook was very heavy. We also use our PDA's to keep lists of CDs/Records and DVDs as well as a few other things. Pierre
