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) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Museum * Etymology: Latin Museum place for learned occupation, from Greek Mouseion, from neuter of Mouseios of the Muses, from Mousa * an institution devoted to the procurement, care, study, and display of objects of lasting interest or value; also, a place where objects are exhibited. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > -----Original Message----- > From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] > On Behalf Of Jessica Harris > Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 9:09 am > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Tour Reservation Software > > > I've worked in several museums and have used three different > ways to record information for tours: paper, File Maker Pro and Access > > I am wondering what software, if any, are museums using to > book tours, rentals etc...
