Hi y'all:

At Joslyn, we use VISTA for walk-in visitors and tour reservations.  For
information concerning rentals (and events), our Events Coordinator and
Food Service Director (and Food Service Assistant) use Event Master.

I do not believe there is any one comprehensive software package that
can handle all functions - walk-ins/tours *and* rentals/events --
equally well.

If you have questions, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Jay Heuman
Visitor & Volunteer Services Coordinator
Joslyn Art Museum
2200 Dodge Street, Omaha, NE, 68102
342-3300 (telephone)   342-2376 (fax)
