We are also in a postion to within a very short time choose software for
collection management. Therefore I hope respondents will post to the list.
We are looking at FoxPro and the upcoming release of Filemaker Pro with the
thought of building our own.  The other option is of course to buy something
off the shelf, such as the Oak Tree product quoted.  We too are using the
Mac platform.

We are interested in integrating as many of our information management needs
as possible and this may determine that we move to our own "in-house" system.
