Hi Everyone,

I have a question about using the exhibition module. Do you add/create
exhibitions for objects that are on display as part of the permanent
collection and have no official exhibition title or do you just keep
track of these items in the location fields in the Objects Module?  In
our former database, we keep a running exhibition list, and when an
item was on display as part of the general permanent collection we
just called the exhibition "Permanent Collection."  It was nice to
print out a chronological list of the exhibitions and dates in order
to calculate light exposure time or just exhibition time. I'm
wondering how TMS users are handling general permanent exhibition
displays and the exhibition history of an object.

Any advice/insight would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Lucille Stiger
