The TMS Media
Module is a good adjunct for linking images to object information. If you
are looking for a searchable database whose primary function is to catalog and
retrieve images, then you might consider programs designed for images,
rather than for information.

I haven't been a TMS user for about two years, but I
find myself still connected to the list serve. So.... I'm taking the
opportunity to ask your opinions...At the Museum of Glass we are officially a
non-collecting museum (although we have a small and "growing" study collection
of objects that were made in our hot shop on site). However, we have a
tremendous amount of digital imagry that relates to our exhibitons and
programming, in particular our working glass hot shop and series of visiting
artists. I am considering recommending TMS as a solution to managing
digital images (that number in the thousands and live all over our various
servers, hard drives, and cd collections). As users of TMS do you find the
media module strong enough to be the main reason why an institution might
purchase the program? Thanks for any input.
Rebecca.
