Last week I posted a request for feedback on collection management software.
Thank you to those of you who responded. Apparently a number of us want
this information, because most of the responses to the message were to ask
me to post the information to the list or send the information to them. My
professor asked me to pass the following information on to Museum-L.
Again, thank you. I will be responding privately to those of you who wrote
to me.
