BookCAT is a powerful database program designed to catalog and manage a personal, club, school, church, or business library. BookCAT will help you know what you have, where it is (including books lent out) and the total value of your collection. Using BookCAT you can quickly catalog your books by downloading information from the Internet. Designed for the Windows environment, BookCAT is comprehensive, intuitive, and easy to use.

You can work with an unlimited number of databases. This means you can split your collection into different catalogs. BookCAT allows you to change the data field names to suit your personal preferences. You can also hide the data fields you don't want to use. Ultimately, this means you can customize the BookCAT database to suit your needs.

BookCAT has a comprehensive set of fields, enabling you to catalog a wide range of information: author, title, publisher, ISBN number, publish date, number of pages, editor, original title, translator, binding, edition, type of book (fiction, non-fiction, etc.), category and sub-category, purchase date and price, current value, condition, status (own, want, for sale), personal rating, owner, location, keywords, awards and nominations, comments, synopsis, reviews, and more.

You can effectively find the information you are looking for by using the powerful search and filter features. BookCAT allows you search your database with any combination of data fields and operators.

BookCAT includes a report designer that lets you create professional looking reports with exactly the layout you want. Use one of the more than 80 pre-defined reports, or create your own reports from scratch. You have full control over data fields, groups, sort order, columns, fonts, colors, paper size, margins and print orientation. BookCAT lets you preview reports on screen before printing, or save reports in virtually any file format.

You can quickly generate documents to be published on the Internet. The loan module lets you keep track of books on loan. Check the program periodically to see what is still out on loan. You will always know who has what and since when. The statistics function allows you to analyze your collection in a variety of ways. BookCAT lets you track both initial investment and the value of your collection. Use the backup function to make backup copies of your valuable data.

BookCAT uses popup menus for quick feature access and navigation. BookCAT comes with a sample database to get you started and a comprehensive context sensitive on-line help system.
