Dear Bill and Jordan,

There is a chapter in the book and it was written by Gary Rosenberg. It cuts across different operating systems and discusses general concepts in designing a database for a malacological collection.

> Another resource that you may find helpful is the new book: > > The Mollusks > A Guide to Their Study, Collection, and Preservation > by C. F. Sturm, T. A. Pearce, and A. Valdis (eds.) > > I believe it has a chapter on databases that has very helpful information > on > data structures specific to shell collection databases. Regards,
