Library database
I have a large collection of magazines going back 40 years. As I wish to downsize I've started to scan the articles i wanted onto my PC. However I can't seem to find a decent program that will enable me to index and cross index the articles.
Any suggestions?

Try "EndNote". I use it at home and work and you get a 30 free trial.
Plus you can link to the pdf files of your scanned articles directly from within the catalogue.

Try either comic collector or book collector at Collection Database Software for Windows and Mac OS X: catalog your inventory of CDs, DVDs, books, games, etc..

I think I've got the wrong end of the stick here, but I user a product called Paperport for scanning random bits of paper. It's got OCR built in, but not accessible to the user: when you scan something, it does OCR in the background to create a searchable index of your documents. So, if I search for "rubber duck", it brings up all the documents containing that term. When I click on the document, I see the original version as scanned, not an OCR'd version. It's one of the few applications that has moved computers with me.
I've got a very fast sheet-fed double-sided scanner, which makes a huge difference, too: receipts, magazines, photos and pretty much everything else get dumped through it.

Thanks everybody
Not working either. I've contacted them and requested it on CD although it doesn't engender much confidence when the web site doesn't work.
CD Taylor, I looked at that but it just seems to catalogue the titles, not the articles
Bushfiva, that looks interesting . if it will work with the Dewey Decimal system it looks the way to go
Try:
