The Artisan Information System was designed by USDA Rural Development ? Wisconsin to collect and compile data from artisans through the included survey as part of an organizational foundation leading to the creation of an arts and crafts cooperative. Note that the Web version of the Artisan Information System Setup, designed for minimal download time, only includes the Artisan Information System software and requires Microsoft Access 2002. A CD-ROM version, which does not require Microsoft Access 2002, is also available. More information can be found at our Web site.
