<p class="MsoNormal">We at AMNH have been using EMu since 2005 in our Division of Vertebrate Zoology. We are currently implementing EMu in two additional divisions, namely Paleontology and Invertebrate Zoology, as well as in our associated cryo-collection facility
and our central Registrar’s Office. I’d be happy to communicate with you about any specific questions you may have.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are considering choosing a new database, either <b>EMu</b> by Axiell or
<b>Sustain Specify</b>, for our Natural History collections (Zoology, Botany and Mycology, Geology and Paleontology). The database we currently use was designed for use in libraries (Inmagic DB/TextWorks).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have any of you recently reviewed these two databases? Would you be willing to share pros and cons, beyond the fact that one is significantly more costly than the other? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
