.Dear all, I would like to know if there is a publication on the history of museums management software. I would like also to know who did use the CHIN review to make the software choise and if you found the review useful. Did you use at time an outside consultant? I do not know if there is any statistic about the use of the Chin review, do you? I really appreciate very much your input. Please answer to my address pomaswank at rinascimento-digitale.it Best regards Annamaria Poma Swank, Ph.D Fondazione Rinascimento digitale project consultant
