Abstract

A record album storage and display device is provided which stores record albums or other media in a cabinet with one or more compartments. A database contained in printed form on an endless belt also contains a code corresponding to each catalogued record. A keyboard is provided through which the code may be entered. Entering the code activates a visual indicator placed proximate to each record so that the record may be located without examining its label. The cabinet, database and keyboard may be self contained, or a separate console may be provided containing the database and keyboard. The separate console may be connected to the record cabinet via a cable or via an infrared cableless link.
