    Greetings,
    I am a graduate student at the University of Houston working on a research project about collections management software. I picked this topic because I am interested in the ways cultural institutions are creating an inventory of their collection. I plan on surveying registrars and collections managers to learn more about this important skill.

    Would you be willing to fill out a short survey about collections management software at your institution? I would be happy to send you the link if you are interested in helping me with this research project!

    Also, please let me know if you have any ideas about how I can reach registrars or collections managers beyond this forum. I have just started researching collections management software so any ideas about research would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Nate

    Hi,
    I suggest that you have a look at these Web pages by CHIN as they cover the subject.  The checklist helps people ask the right questions.

    Hi Nate,


    I handle collections management at a small, rural museum in Ohio.  I'd be happy to take your survey.  Feel free to email me at info@crfmuseum.com

    My research paper on collections management software is complete and I would be willing to share it.  Send me a message with your email and I will forward it to you.

    I am also looking to get in touch with Houston area museum professionals to discuss career paths- do you know someone in the area?
