Listserve subscribers,
        Last week a survey was distributed on the Museum L-listserve
pertaining to Collections Management systems.

        I'm afraid my response was hasty and not fully thought out.  I'd
like to clarify my comments about the Collections Management system ARGUS
from Questor Systems.

        First, I need to point out that the statement reflected my own
personal experience, which only deals with a small portion of the ARGUS
Collections Management system.  I was not speaking for the Henry Ford Museum
as a whole.

        Second, I did not realize that some of the difficulties I have
experienced with the system were the result of network and hardware problems
and not due to problems with the software itself.

        Third,  I did not realize that problems I have experienced with
large lists are currently being worked on by staff at the Henry Ford Museum
and Questor.  I was also not aware that the new Conservation module is now
ready and installation on our system is being scheduled for the next
upgrade.

        The posting to Museum-L was hasty on my part and reflects a
momentary frustration rather than my full experience with ARGUS.  It was not
my intention to create any misconception about ARGUS software. Sometimes
it's just too easy to push the "SEND" button.

        I am sorry for any confusion I might have caused with my earlier
comments,
        Holly Hartlerode
