Bookpedia ReviewIt Works - Version: 4.5.2, 8/25/2009 11:07AM PST

This user of BookPedia & DVDPedia run a Church Library with about 2500 titles. We have all the issues associated with a Library operation in micro form. This software package and the support we get from the developer meets all our needs. As it is a Mac program teaching our volunteer staff how to use it is easy. Bottom line here is for anyone needing to run a small library operation like a Church library this will fit the bill. I am in Ontario Canada. Do a google search, it make take a couple of tries but I can be found if you want to talk.

I started using this program when I first switched to a Mac 2 years ago, and have had nothing but a terrific experience with it. I tried both DL and Bookpedia, and found that Bookpedia was far more reliable and flexible for my use. I recently [April 2009] received a copy of the latest DL as part of the latest Machesit and found that I was still better served by Bookpedia.

As a humanities professor, I like being able to use smart folders and the columns to organize and tag my books. Additionally, the ability to export titles for bibliographic use is outstanding. I have also made good use of its ipod syncing capabilities--which have only been made better with pocketpedia which allows you to sync to iphones and ipod touch. [Something promised in future versions of DL.] This lets me keep track of everything I already have and everything I am looking for and helps me to comparison shop with updated prices for new and used items. I could really go on and on about the terrific customer service as well. But shouldn't you just go and see for yourself? You won't be disappointed!
