Documenting Conservation: CatalogIT an innovative new mobile tool for an evolving field Saturday, June 15th, 2019 3 - 5 p.m. Followed by a reception Please RSVP at EventBrite (https://baacg.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e3ef68e3939ebd80be994d145&id=ae8455c2ac&e=244303fcda <https://baacg.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e3ef68e3939ebd80be994d145&id=ae8455c2ac&e=244303fcda>) Please join us for a BAACG sponsored event featuring presenters Dan Rael and Howard Burrows, founders of CatalogIt, a recently launched collections database application, shared interface for your desktop, mobile phone, and tablet devices. Create an Entry with the camera on your smartphone and it’s immediately available for you or your colleagues to view and edit from any device.
Enter and automatically link Entries based on shared characteristics such as people, places, techniques, materials and more. Whether utilized in museums or private practice, a modern database should offer a visual platform to capture processes through images, track objects as they enter and leave a space, and provide access to vital information about objects. Gone are the days of having a program that lives on a single device accessible to a single user at a time. CatalogIt is simple and user-friendly, just like any other time-saving app for your phone or tablet. CatalogIt transforms the way we interface not only with the objects themselves, but with our clients, colleagues, and museum audiences with collaborative features such as a web-publishing tool. Dan and Howard will provide a brief background of the development of CatalogIt followed by a demonstration of its main features and of features that they’ll be adding in the near term. They’ll describe the specific plans they’ve created for Museums, Conservators, Organizations and Private collectors. Following the demonstration, we will break out into smaller groups led by Dan, Howard, and other local current professional users to provide detailed anecdotes of how CatalogIt is being used and to allow for the opportunity to discuss CatalogIt and its potential uses in greater detail.
