At the Louisville Science Center we use the EmBark Collections Management
system.  It works well for us.  We have most of our man-made objects in the
database.  However, EmBark, I think, is meant more for "Art" collections and
not natural history items etc.  I will be eventually entering our natural
history and earth science items into EmBark;  I don't know how well EmBark
will work for that.
