Hello all-I am a museum studies graduate student at the University of Michigan,Ann Arbor, and only recently joined your unbelievable discussion list.Currently I'm working with the African American Cultural andHistorical Museum of Washtenaw County as a final project, making someinfrastructure recommendations for their all-volunteer operation.Right now the AACHM is keeping a running list of about 130 members ina word document. They're interested in streamlining this list, andhaving a format which could easily export data to create mailinglabels, or email lists, as the need arose. They're hoping for a largemembership increase as they develop procedures for recruiting andmaintaining members in coming years.What are their options for easy-to-use, inexpensive membershipdatabases? I've talked to some small organizations which just useexcel sheets... what about File Maker or some other program? What doyou all use and what is working?Thanks so much for the help (I hope this hasn't been asked a million times),Helen DixonPhD Student: Dept. of Near Eastern StudiesCertificate Student: Museum StudiesUniversity of Michigan, Ann Arbor=========================================================Important Subscriber Information:The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
