I am following this thread with much interest, as I am at similar
crossroads. For our institution, the web module will be a very important
component when choosing collections management software. 

I'd be interested in hearing what software combination people are using
for collections management AND making collections available on the web
(e.g. PastPerfect & Virtual Exhibit; iO & TriO; Embark & eMuseum/Web
Kiosk; others?)  What are you experiences? Is there a URL to view your
results on the web?

Thank you!

Hello all,

We are looking at collection management systems and have narrowed it
down
to PastPerfect and Embark.  Does anyone with experience of these systems
have any comments as to which would be more suitable for a University
Gallery with a permanent collection of 2-d and 3-d art and ethnograpical
objects.

Thanks,
Cheryl
