The attendees at the IASA (International Assoc of Sound Archives) 
conference are mostly cataloger types -- librarians and archivists -- 
and years ago I was one of the few private collectors who attended.  I 
once shocked several Scandinavian lady librarians when they asked me 
what cataloging system I used (my collection was larger than some of 
theirs) and I replied "Now, on which pile did I see that record last?!"
