Update Collections Management System to CollectiveAccess

Short term we exceeded our expectatinos with the initiating of a new collections program. Collective Access has provided us with opportunities for our collection that we never thought possible. This result was achieved through the dedication of Whirligig staff to help us initiate Collective Access, the hard work of our newly hired staff, and the sheer prowess of Collective Access and its abilities over our Excel and Word docs. Intermediate term we have seen that our ability to add items to the collection has probably achieved our expectations of adding artifacts to the collection in a timely manner. We feel that these just met our expectations and did not achieve them with the idea that we were unfamiliar with how long it would take to add new items to a collections program. Long term our system is up and running to add future items, however we are not quite at a place that unidentified items can be identified. While our Collective Access system will easily allow us to add new objects, because of the sheer scope of our collection and its numbers it will be a long term goal to obtain a status where we can identify untagged items.
