Using Libraries

In Bento, you use libraries to organize your information. You can use the libraries that Bento provides, and create your own libraries using templates. You can share your entire database or selected libraries with up to five users on a local network.

Bento contains four libraries that display data from other Mac OS X applications if you set Bento to do so:

•	Address Book library, which displays contact records from the Address Book application

•	iCal Events library, which displays events from the iCal application

•	iCal Tasks library, which displays To Do items (Mac OS X 10.6) or Reminders (OS X Lion 10.7) from the iCal application

•	iPhoto library, which displays photos and video clips from the iPhoto application

For information on these libraries, see Chapter 3, “Using the Address Book, iCal, and iPhoto Libraries” on page 41.

You can also create libraries to hold your information:

•	By using the New Library dialog

•	By importing existing information from a comma-separated (.csv), tab-separated (.tab), Numbers, Excel, or library template file

This chapter describes how to use libraries to organize, manage, and share your information.
