[NHCOLL-L:2585] RE: Herbarium database

[Liu, Christopher]

KE Emu is probably the best collection management DB out there. That's
why all the major museums have adopted it. The major "weakness", in my
opinion, is that it is TOO expensive for a small institution. But it is
not harmful to get to know it better. Find out more information on this
program at www.kesoftware.com <http://www.kesoftware.com/> .

Subject: [NHCOLL-L:2583] Herbarium database

 

Hello-

I've been asked by a botany professor at our local college about
database systems to manage a herbarium.  He is looking around to see
what is most commonly used, and is interested if there are any "canned"
programs out there, so he wouldn't have to make something from scratch.


Specifically, the professor is interested in feed back on "Specify" from
the University of Kansas, File Maker Pro, and Paradox.  I was also asked
about a program called Keemu (or something like that), which I've never
heard of.  Any suggestions, comments, complaints, or positive
experiences are welcome.  You can reply to me directly and I'll pass the
information along.

Thanks so much for your help.
