The author discusses various computerization projects undertaken by French museums, noting that the focus of most has been documentation and not collections management. Among the projects she mentions are the recording of the Louvre's 6000-piece paintings collection and the 13-database Ministry of Culture national network. She describes the computerized functions of the Musée d'Orsay, France's most thoroughly computerized museum, and Minitel, a national videotex system which may soon provide the public with access to some museum databases. -- AATA
