AB - The newly implemented database system, called TAIS, for the TAI Herbarium is outlined. TAIS is a versatile and changing system used for recording and manipulating information about herbarium specimens. It was designed for run on microcomputers, and will eventually allow encoding of the 220,000 specimens housed at the TAI. The system consists of a main SPECIMEN base and two accessory bases containing species names and geographic maps. The incorporation of map images into application made it more powerful. Three different ways of localizing collection sites is described. Grid references and latitude/longitude can be generated automatically. Outputs of the system include specimen label, specimen citation, distribution map, and user defined information.
