Note: our help topics describe Web Search and Auto Catalog in relation to a book search. The book search in majority cases is by ISBN numbers. In the case of music (cds) or movies (dvds) or other items you follow the same web
search rules as described for books. The one difference is that the music (cds), movies (dvds), or other items are searched by UPC code or other unique number.
This is general help for all programs that use Web-Auto-Search and Auto-Cataloging features.
The following programs have predefined web search files/scripts:
- Library Organizer Pro
- Book Organizer Deluxe
- Music Organizer Deluxe
- Movie Organizer Deluxe
- Web search could be customized. It means that you can modify script files. You can add definitions and code for your web book, music, or movie information sources. Actually you can create your own database and integrate it with your web information
source. Please read help topics about web search scripts. Review script files that are already included in the software.
