I have the job to change a library (about 100 000 volumes)
to computer administration. This produces a lot of data, but
not much computing. Therefore i think that i can do the job 
with a macintosh connected to a large (> 100 MB) harddisk. 
We need a formal catalogue (author, title and institution 
{in alphabetical order }) and a systematic subject catalogue. 
Some questions to the net:

-Has someone experience with similar applications.
-Has someone experience with large harddisks (> 100 MB) 
and the macintosh (access time, brand, scsi interface ...)
-Does anybody know appropriate data management systems 
( amount of data, for example omnis3 B, facilities for 
input control...)

Thanks in advance, if there is interest , i'll report 
a summary to the net.
