Note. This is not a collections management/registrars system but a Registration/Facilities management system. All those that have been struggling with new admissions systems and facilities management should take a look at this proposal.

They have done many, many panels and workshops on this session and perhaps it is time for some cross organizational conversations. janice Janice Klein Director, Mitchell Museum of the American Indian jkl...@kendall.edu www.mitchellmuseum.org -----Original Message----- From: Roger Zender [mailto:zen...@healthspacecleveland.org] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 4:22 PM To: mcn-l@mcn.edu Subject: Registration System Panel at MCN Conference I wanted to put a call out there to see if someone would be interested in forming a panel on Museum Registration systems to present at the MCN conference? Here at HealthSpace we encountered many challenges when it came to finding a new Registration Database. We evaluated several products and eventually decided to custom build our own, and what a challenge that was. I m proud to say that it was a rather successful project, but I feel like I have learned SO much from the process and would love to share this information. Also, whenever I talk to cultural institutions, they all seem to be interested in how other institutions are handling this, so it seems like it would be a rather popular topic. Our Registration Database handles the following: All Education Programming (In-House, Outreach, Distance Learning) All Rentals All Resource Allocation All Contact Information All Financial information (relating to Education & Rentals) We are also building an online registration system that connects directly to the database... I could easily talk about the benefits and challenges with custom building your own system. I would like to find others who have maybe done the same, or who have purchased systems and we can give a complete snapshot of dealing with these types of systems. I would also be happy to server as the Chairperson for this Panel. Please let me know if anyone is interested.
