Advice Using Microsoft Access as Library Catalog

I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions
regarding creating a library catalog for my firm's law
library using Microsoft Access.

I currently work in a small law firm with an
unusual "special" library collection, regular client
files, and no catalog. We already own the Access
program and our current unsupported database system
will merge into Access. I am planning to create an
online library catalog for
this firm consisting of client information stored in
their present database along with Lexis and other
print articles, trial transcripts, depositions,
photographs, and various exhibits. In the future I
hope to add more "knowledge management" to the system
by including expert and other sources of relevant
knowledge unable to be methodolically searched.

So, I am trying to find out more about how others have
approached such a task of cataloging such items into a
"library catalog" using Microsoft Access.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to your
response. I will gladly summarize the responses for
the list.

Sincerely,

Tracey B. Tennant
