You will never loose an application disc or backup file again. In business it can cost you a customer, or worse still your job, when you need to retrieve information quickly, but aren't exactly sure where it is located. With the Datacatch Librarian Google Desktop Search Assistant, you can search your removable media libraries, computer's hard drive and the Internet in a single operation. Within seconds you can find the information needed and get on with your work. We've also included the popular media storage location functionality from Datacatch Librarian with this new assistant. This means that not only does Google Desktop Search tell me which piece of removable media contains the file I need, it also tells me where to locate that media, right down to a slot number within a DVD rack".

To locate a document, file or photo, a user simply browses files, folders and thumbnail images in the same way as browsing a computer's hard drive. The user can type in a title or file name into the Windows search engine to locate the removable media. Datacatch Librarian is totally integrated with Microsoft Windows so provides a familiar view of archives, backups and other data stored on removable media.
