We also use Volgistics and it has been very successful for the museum and for our Volunteer Guides. The user interface is very simple and intuitive. If you have specific questions please feel free to contact me direct.

It is much more than just volunteer management; we have donors, networking contacts, volunteers, and more all in one system. The online application and hours collection are my favorite part of this system.

We are particularly interested in programs that with open APIs that handle volunteer applications and recruitment, scheduling, managing records, and collecting feedback. We'd especially love to hear from anyone who is using or has used Volunteer Matters. Thanks in advance for your input.

You were so nice to me and Timlynn for our first MCN conference in 2014, TY so much. As I have said in the past, IANAMIP - I Am Not A Museum Informatics Professional - however, as a serial entrepreneur on both sides of the private/public sectors over many years, I have depended on the power and flexibility of the PHP/MySQL-based Drupal CMS platform for more creative web environments than you can shake a stick at.? While I believe that the best strategy for Drupal-based design is to take the latest version and a collection of "best of breed" modules to craft exactly what you want/need, there are some impressive 3rd-party distributions that take the base Drupal platform to a higher level in the scope of their design missions.? With that in mind, as an outsider/non-domain-expert, I would encourage you and others to take a look at CiviCRM, the CMS -- Constituent (not Content) Mgt. System -- built on the Drupal platform,?https://civic rm.org/. I am sure that the core design focused on constituents, volunteers, donors, etc. is a generalization of the things that cultural heritage organizations deal with plus all the additional flexibility that any missing features you need can surely be covered by adding best of bred 3rd party modules if you need/want them. Having spent decades as a hard-core Smalltalk software designer/developer, I can assure you that the modular architecture of Drupal and its incredibly active developer community mean that you will only write the most minimal code that you need, if any, to create the design of your most-demanding requirements. Let us know if you need/want more information along these lines as you pursue your development agenda. Happy-Healthy Vibes, -: Jim Salmons :-? https://medium.com/@Jim_Salmons/ P.S. TY MCN for the "emerging professional" scholarship for 2014! I am doing my best as a post-cancer 65-year-old indie #CitizenScientist to be worthy of this honor and e ncouragement. Here is a copy of my FIRST academic/scholarly research paper submitted for #DATeCH2017 that is an extension of the project design/mission I presented at #MCN2014:?https://goo.gl/cFMcQH (PDF on my OneDrive in the cloud). I am working on a companion paper that shows the value of developing a Pattern Design Language within the scope the the Issuing Rule model element of the #cidocCRM/#FRBRoo/#PRESSoo ontology "stack." Would love to hear from anyone working on or interested in this conceptual space. ---Sent from Boxer | http://getboxer.com Dear Elizabeth, We use Volgistics here at the Florida Museum and our volunteer coordinator is very happy with it, and with their support team.
