          ORGANIZE YOUR PROFESSIONAL BOOKS

          This cataloging format is designed for use by business, government,
          schools, and individuals who need to catalog detailed information
          about books, articles and technical papers.  You can catalog a
          library and then locate a book, or article in a magazine, by any
          one of up to 21 characteristics.  For example, you'll be able to
          get a list of all of references to George Washington in a history
          library or find all the information on chemical recovery boilers in
          a technical library.

          Another nice feature of this format is that it can be used with
          books, magazines, newspapers, technical papers or almost any other
          published material.  Entries can be made for individual articles
          allowing you to list the individually unique information contained
          in each article.

          The catalog name for this format is: PROBOOKS
