I am interested in learning the current practice in art museum
libraries, historical homes/sites, and historical societies/archives
regarding software used for collection management and library book
collections.
Do you use a standalone library software application to manage the
library collection? OR Do you use collection management system (e.g.,
PastPerfect, Eloquent Systems, Gallery Systems, others?) which includes
a library component for managing the library book collection?
We have a standalone library system (Follett) for our 10,000 volume
library collection and use TRIO for collection management.
Your comments on advantages or disadvantages on using a single or
multiple software systems are appreciated. Thank you for your time.
