[NHCOLL-L:3139] Specify software

[Gene Hess]

Hi,

We are considering moving to Specify to manage our bird, mollusk, mammal & herp collections. I am interested in your experience in using and setting up (customizing) the software for your institution / collection. I am especially interested in those collections that imported their data from another program. What kinds of problems did you experience? How much support did you need from your IT staff? What other software did you consider? Did you chose a different program based on your evaluation of Specify?

Please respond off-line at the address below.   

Thanks for your help,
