Greetings illustrious listserv,
Does anyone have a recommendation for software products and/or metadata
(tagging) applications to help manage a digital image collection.  We are
small public agency, so many of the products I'm familiar with from my
archive and library days may be a bit robust for our current needs.

Here is a brief background:  The Department currently maintains
approximately 33,000 images on their network drive.  With the right
appraisal strategy, I think they will be able to significantly reduce the
number of images - but like any image collection it will continue to grow
over time.  They are looking for a better way to manage these images over
time and to increase searchability of their collection.

On a related note - I've been reviewing our network drives to get a better
handle on our electronic files, and I've noticed that photos
abound...everywhere.   If other organizations have grappled with this same
issue, I would be interested in hearing how you curbed photo/image storage
and retention.

As always, I am grateful for all of the wonderful points of view, and many
thanks in advance for your consideration!

Cheers,

Jessica Fairchild
