>While you are making suggestions for collections management software, I have >a question. I would like to find (if possible) a software package for a >small museum that does the usual collections things, can include images, and >(here's the tricky part) can be used to catalogue our art library. Is this >asking too much? A number of the collection management systems offer library modules and a few are built around library standards to start with. ReDiscovery, which a few people have mentioned, has a good reputation. The library component integrates the library catalog with the collection catalog, but does not offer circulation and all the bells and whistles of a full library system. Be aware that FileMaker, FoxPro, and Access are all generic databases that allow you to "build your own." Past Perfect, ReDiscovery, and others are pre-built.
