[Web4lib] gallery/museum software experience?

[J. Trant]

Nina,

There are a couple of authoritative places to go for this kind of information:

- the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) and their email 
list  mcn-l at mcn.edu is the way to connect with Museum Professionals 
involved in collections management.

- The Canadian Heritage Information Network has published a 
"Collections Management Software Review" for  a number of years now. 
See 
http://www.chin.gc.ca/English/Collections_Management/Software_Review/index.html

"The Reviews are based upon intensive examinations of individual 
collections management software packages and comments from the 
evaluators. The evaluations were conducted using a checklist of over 
500 functional items. "
