Hi all
The Mollusks by Sturm et al. looks very good indeed (you can see the
contents and 20-odd pages if you log onto the publishers site). I've ordered
a copy. For those of us on 'this' side of pond, you can order a copy from
NHBS (www.nhbs.com) or Bram van der Bilj
(http://www.xs4all.nl/~anvdbijl/lijst.html).
Regards
Alex

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.
