[Nhcoll-l] FW: collections based database software

[Amanda Bremner]

Hello,
We are considering choosing a new database, either EMu by Axiell or Sustain Specify, 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).

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?

Thanks,
Amanda
