[MCN-L] Photo Management Software
Susie, Please take a look at our open source software, OpenEdit Digital Asset Management. Because it is open source, it is free to download, install and use. OpenEdit is used by small and enterprise organizations, so it can scale to handle the most complex needs. When I mention it can be scaled, I certainly don't mean that we charge for additional modules, they are all included in the software, you only need to turn on the modules you need. Our user base includes single users with small collections to enterprise users with millions of assets. We have online documentation and a free User Forum to post support questions. You can check out a demo here: http://www.openeditdam.com/DAMDemo/archive/search/resultsthumbnails.html And see some videos here: http://www.openeditdam.com/dam/videos/index.html It can be downloaded here: http://www.openeditdam.com/dam/download/index.html By the way, the permissions are pretty locked down on our demo, this helps us to control the demo from hackers and the like! If anyone would like to see a demo of OpenEdit, let me know. I'll arrange a time to do a remote demo and have a Q&A session. Would love to do it!

[MCN-L] Photo Management Software
We are at the very beginning of a digital photo project for one of our collections. I am interested in learning about what software to use to manage these photos and their categories. I know that in the end - we will need something very large and more complex. But, right now I need to start with something simple that can be expanded when we are ready. We have a very small budget. We also have lot of photos taken for publicity about our facility that needs to be managed. We are also looking at something to manage our ~300 photos (still pretty small) I have Microsoft Access and am very good at programming it. Could that work for our photos at this time? Someone suggested FileMaker Pro. I know that it holds lots of memory, but I haven't used it since version 5. Would that work for our needs? Or, is there a cheaper over the counter program we can purchase? I would be happy to hear any suggestions. Thanks, Susie + Susie Fishman-Armstrong Laboratory Coordinator Antonio J.
