Gonna Get My Organization On
Several months ago, in an effort to clean up my living space, I took all my DVDs out of their cases, put them in sleeves, and stuffed the whole collection into a box. In alphabetical order of course. The move definitely cleaned up my living room, but I can’t browse my selection very conveniently now when I’m not sure what I want to watch. So today I created an Access database to catalog and manage my collection. Now I have to input the title, synopsis, stars, genres and poster art for every DVD I own. I don’t have the biggest collection, but I’ve got enough that it will take an evening or two. But it’s worth it because every time I get something new, I can just add it to the database, run a new report and print to pdf. Viola! Instant browsing even when all my movies are closed up in a little black box.
