Dear Colleagues, As part of the Museum Loan Network's (MLN) evaluation of its current web interfaced database serving the museum community, we would like to hear about any experience museums and historical organizations have using Microsoft Access in conjunction with Java. Also, do any museums have experience they could share regarding a migration from Access to Oracle for implementation using web protocol? Our research thus far indicates that both of these subjects are tied to larger issues of data compatibility and accessibility. In the MLN's continued effort to facilitate collections sharing among museums we are investigating enhancements of our current system and would appreciate your responses. Thank You, Lori Gross Director, MLN Lori Gross, Director Museum Loan Network MIT 265 Massachusetts Ave., N52-439 Cambridge, MA 02139-4370 tel: 617-252-1888 fax: 617-252-1899 e-mail: [log in to unmask] ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
