Almost any database program would work. You define the "fields" that will
contain whatever information you want to collect. We use FileMaker Pro.

Once a year we publish a hard copy catalog of about 700 faculty research
profiles. We also put it on the Web, so our faculty (and anyone outside the
university) can search the profiles by key word, subject or investigator.
If you are interested, the address of our site is:

http://ibc.wustl.edu:80/res_collab/

The Community of Science is another great resource for faculty research
profiles from many of the major research universities. They'll do it for
you for a fee of $6000 per year.
