I am also interested in this topic.  We are a new heritage center that
is looking to purchase a collections management software program.  We
need a system that can grow with us and is user friendly.  Any
suggestions?

Meredith,

I am also interested in this topic.  Are you trying to merge your data
from
another program into Re:Discovery?  We will merge our catalog records
from
Excel into Re:Discovery in the future.  Is this what you are trying to
do?
I would like to hear about the problems you are having.

Kelli

Hi Everyone,

My museum purchased Re:Discovery software for cataloguing our museum
collections.  I have been working on trying to get all of the records
into
the computer system but am having a lot of difficulties.  Does anyone
know
of any resources that would help guide users through the process?  I
have
been through the training modules several times and printed out the
entire
user manual and am still having difficulties.

Also, if your museum uses the software, what did you think of it in
general
(or specifically)?

Any help would be appreciated.
