Dear Museum-L members,
I am writing a technical paper regarding the use of computers in
archaeological collections management. From a preliminary review, it
appears there is no standard application in place. I would like to query
as many museum professionals as possible regarding the use of computers in
museum collections management. Please take a few moments to complete this
questionnaire, or just email me any comments you might have.
Please respond to me directly at the address below and not to the Museum-l
list.
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan M. Lizee, Ph.D.

Questionnaire
1. Do you use a computer database to manage a museum collection?
2. How many objects/specimens in the collection?
3. What type of software do you use in collections managment?
4. Does your existing database/collections management program include
visual fields within records?
5. If you were designing a collections management program, what features
would you include?
6. Is your facility planning to purchase collections management software
in the near future (within the next year)?
7. What is your anticipated budget for a collections management program?
8. In purchasing a collections management program, would you prefer a one
time purchase or a yearly license fee with guaranteed upgrades and support?
9. Please include any comments you feel will be useful.
Thank you for your time and interest in this project.
