The Henry Art Gallery in Seattle, Washington, recently received a grant to update its collections management system and bring our collections online. We are in the process of migrating data from the archaic Snap! to Mimsy XG. I am looking for other institutions that have recently gone through this process to tell me about their experiences. It seems as if the conversion process will go smoothly, however I would greatly appreciate any advice on creating web portals using Mobius. I'd be particularly happy to hear about any experiences creating a public web interface with Mimsy XG or exporting data to external sources.
Our plan is to get the basic collections management system up and running in the next 30 days. Following this, we will be rolling out internal web interfaces using Mobius. Finally, we are to develop three database-driven web modules for public consumption. These modules will launch from an overarching collections information and search page on our new website (eta March 2008). Thank you in advance for any information or pointers you might be able to provide.
