====== Item and Catalogue Management ======

One of the most important things to remember about a modern library, is that the term is now more traditional than accurate. A modern library may contain a wide array of Items that bare little resemblance to the traditional concept of a 'book'. A catalogue built in Pergamon reflects this modern interpretation - almost any Item that may be placed into a collection can be stored within the Pergamon database.

For the sake of understanding therefore, all Items that may be stored within the Pergamon database - whether that Item is a book, video, automobile, or cocker-spaniel puppy - will be referred to in this manual as an 'Item'.
