Greetings all, and hello from a newly signed-on member to this list.
I am trying to assist our folks here in thinking and planning out
future multimedia
projects. These projects could include, but are not limited to
websites [large-scale as
well as 'micro-sites' for exhibitions], kiosk-based in-gallery
multimedia, audio tours,
Powerpoint or Keynote presentations, etc.
We currently do not have a staff member that is charge of creating
these, and as I
am the lead for technology here, I am trying to get some ideas as to
how other museums
[that are our size] are handling the multimedia question. We have
about 30 staff
members, 4 of which reside in our "Publications" department. The
"Computing and
Technology" department here consists of myself, another part-time
database manager,
and some student assistance.
I can certainly assist with the tech part of the equation - but not
in the content
writing and planning.
So, for multimedia projects that you do - who prepare the content?
Curators of an exhibition? The education department, in charge of
outreach and teaching?
Once the content has been developed, then who does the actual
creation of the
multimedia product? In-house staff? Contracted multimedia
specialists? Or
maybe even student employees?
I have a few ideas on how we might look to approach this, from a
process-end - but am
interested in how other institutions are currently handling this.
Thanks in advance for your time, and consideration!
