iView Media Pro Tutorials

After fiddling around with Lightroom for a few days, I've decided to get back to iView Media Pro 3 for photo management as I can't sustain using a beta product which has bugs, features missing and is slow :):

Anyway, Can anyone point me in the direction of good tutorials iView Media Pro? I'm unsure of how to organise my photos. I wondering:

a.) Should I use a whole catalogue for my entire collection?
b.) Should I use a seperate catalogue for each shoot?
c.) Should I use a seperate catalogue for each calendar month?

My concern (as said before) with B and C is that I may end up loosing images and it means I am unable to keep track of the size of my entire collection. Is there a way to add 'catalogues inside catalogues' in iView (like shoots/collections in Lightroom) so if I have one catalogue, I can seperate it for different shoots.

Thanks Everyone

    I have just received my copy of The DAM Book. I am finding that it is an extraordinarily accessible and detailed tutorial on digital asset management using Adobe Brdige and iView Media Pro.

    The book's website is here and its related software is here.

    dandill,

    I got the book, I'm about 70 pages into it, and so far, I am far from disappointed. I'm actually pretty excited about it.

    What I am disappointed about is the DAM review. Are you going to write that DAM review? We were really hoping you would, it would be a DAM good thing to have up on our reviews page.
