Hello, Christian, I used catalogers at my former job and they were
great. It was a Historic House , with four floors. I had 4 catalogers
and was able to keep an eye on all the floors, alternately I would move
them from room to room. All the data was recorded and then put into
the computer for perfect readouts. Great for keeping track. I would
highly recommend them. I used the HOBO's.
