The
Herbarium databases are used to manage most
of the daily activities at CONN, which include,
specimen data entry, loans, nomenclature, references,
morphology, collectors, data about other herbaria,
localities / geo-references,
classification, images and even staff projects
and time cards.
Historically CONN has had and still uses several
database packages. Initially the Herbarium was
in an early version of Microsoft Access and
was transferred to Biota and then moved recently
to BG-BASE™. Palaeobotany resides
in a FileMaker Pro database. CONN
is in the process of incorporating data from
numerous sources to offer even greater access
to our collections. The fungal collections,
although not plants, are housed in the herbarium
due to similar curatorial practice and are currently
not databased.
