Museum-lers

Folks looking for an inexpensive memberhsip database should also look at
"e-Base," a membership database from the TechRocks program.

Their primary audience is activist communities, but e-base has been adapted by
a few small museums.  Its FREE and uses FileMaker as its database engine
(ebase 2.0 comes with a single user license for FM).

See http://www.techrocks.org

Another good resource for software and techology advice is the Tech Soup web
site at http://www.techsoup.org  Tech Soup offers discounted software to 501c3
orgs through their DiscoutnTech program.
