I use a spreadsheet set up years ago to manage my slide collection
(Open Office Calc - actually I originally used a database program but
I find Open Office can cope for the present).  The spreadsheet has a
whole stack of data fields (including keywords), most of which are
probably of little value but they seemed like a good idea when I set
it up!

I've adapted the same basic system to cater for digital images with
hotlinks to thumbnail files.  I also have links to thumbnails of any
slides that I get scanned.

I guess it's not as convenient as some of the dedicated image
management programs but now that I'm used to it I can input data and
links pretty quickly.    I doubt, however, that the system would work
for really big image libraries.

There are two advantages from my point of view:
* Having data for all images (digital and film) in the one file. 
* Open Office is a cross-platform program which is ideal as I work in
both Windows and Linux.
 
Oh - and Open Office is free.....


Cheers

Brian
