Using Access to Record Reference Statistics?

[Cary Gordon]

We built a state of the art reference tracking system for California's second level reference centers using Access. In 1998.

Using Google Apps is likely the easiest and cheapest solution.

Being a Drupal maniac, I would build it in Drupal.

Thanks,

Cary

We’re also wondering if we could simply create an Access database with a form on the frontend that we could all share via a network drive. Are there any libraries out there using Access to record reference transactions? If so, what has been your experience?
