<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><font size="4" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">We are using the Symbiota software for our invertebrate collection. Specifically, ours is through SCAN. Once setup and you have your passwords and accounts you can enter data over the internet from any computer anywhere. You database can be searched by people around the world so they can see as much data, pictures, etc. you will release. There is no costs that I am aware. The remote login is great for field work or having staff or students enter data from paper copies at their houses (for you on those days you just cannot get to work for the snow on the road).

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] which database software for a natural history museum?<br>
<br>
<div id="AOLMsgPart_0_494c079b-606b-405d-b27e-f6dfd04418ca" style="margin: 0px;font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;font-size: 12px;color: #000;background-color: #fff;">
<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Dear all,
The MHNC is a small natural history museum located in the hearth of the Jura
Mountains in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. We would like to migrate our
collection database (currently in MS Access) to a new software but we remain
unsure of the software to use. As we do not have the financial resources nor the
technical staff at hands to develop our own software, we would be interested to
know what database software is being used by other natural history museums for
their collections, their degree of satisfaction using that software and if they
have any advice with that regard.
Thank you very much for your help.
Nicolas Margraf
