[NHCOLL-L:574] pest monitoring programs

[Lisa Kronthal]

Our museum is currently investigating software available for monitoring an
insect trapping program. We would like to set up a system that allows us to
visualize trap sites, input large amounts of capture data, note trends and
identify problem areas in the building, storage areas, or exhibit
locations. So far, we haven't come across any off-the-shelf packages.  We
are aware that some institutions have developed their own systems and would
like to find out which database package was used, how the data is organized
within the system, and what problems have arisen. Any additional tips or
ideas would be helpful.
