There are so many software programs on the market today, it's hard to say which is better than another. I suggest you first assess your needs (just 3-D objects or also library materials) and your staff ability to enter data. (Some programs are more complicated than others.) How much information do you need? Last, are you using a MAC or "IBM" system? There are still only some programs made for each type of operating system. Companies I would get information from are: REGIS, in Hallowell, Maine Willougby Associates, who make SNAP! and probably other programs Accessions Software, in FLA (a MAC system) Do you want addresses? I suggest you shop around, compare prices, service, etc. before just choosing one. I'm sure all these folks would LOVE to send you information!
