Hello,

I was wondering if anybody  here has used/has had good experience with open source collections management software. I am currently looking into utilizing software such as Collective Access to create a more navigable and accessible database for a moderately sized art collection of about 4,000 objects.  


Does anybody have any experience with this or similar programs?  I am currently vacillating between this and the more expensive route for PastPerfect.  Any insight into the pros and cons of open source vs. licensed software would be immensely helpful.  



Amanda
