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.
