[MCN-L] Use of Stored Collections survey
Dear colleagues, I would like to invite you to assist in the dissemination of this study: The Erasmus University Rotterdam in collaboration with the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) - as related to a PhD research - are conducting a survey on the stored collections of museums across the world. Knowing that the larger portion of the collections is stored, this survey will gather data about: - The type and condition of collections stored; - The type of storage available; and - The services provided to access stored collections. Your participation in this survey will support understanding of the current practices and challenges faced to increase access to collections, particularly those currently in storage. Your answers will be kept anonymous and all results will be reported in aggregated form. The deadline to send your response is 24 January 2021. We thank you for taking part in this study. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of the researchers involved at navarr...@eshcc.eur.nl and laracor...@uic.es. https://forms.gle/31uPfutcHDEWZrcG6 :..::...::..::...::..: Trilce Navarrete m: +31 (0)6 244 84998 | s: trilcen | t: @trilcenavarrete w: trilcenavarrete.com *Video series: Museums in Context <https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbwAZPm1xXxB1nB2wRq3k6UsTyzGojdrJ>* *Latest book: Handbook of Cultural Economics, Third Edition <https://www.e-elgar.com/shop/usd/handbook-of-cultural-economics-third-edition-9781788975797.html>* *Blog: Economists Talk Art <https://economiststalkart.org/>* ___ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l@mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://lists.mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/mcn-l@mcn.edu/
[MCN-L] Video series of museums
Dear all, Thank you for your magnificent work. I would like to share with you a project we just finished at my university to develop a series of 11 videos where we discuss various areas of museums from an economic perspective. Note many images from various museums are used as illustration, including the latest Smithsonian collection online, as well as blogs and other comments that have circulated in this list. Your work has greatly inspired many examples to present the content. Here the link to the video related to Digital Museums, you can find the entire playlist next to it https://youtu.be/2DR6ki4Yhv0 In a way, this video is already outdated ! I am sure many things have already fundamentally changed for instance in regards to digital literacy as this is rapidly increasing (I know from my direct team at work!). It is promising to imagine the 'good side' of this challenging situation to be adopted as 'normal practice' in the long-term. Again, I would like to thank you for the great work - which is being showcased more than ever !

[MCN-L] CfP Provenance of Knowledge CIDOC2018 Sep29-Oct5 Crete
*Apologies for cross-posting* *Please forward this message to anyone who might be interested* **CIDOC 2018** *** Sept. 29th – Oct. 5th, 2018*** Iraklio, Crete, Greece* *** ***www.cidoc2018.com*** **Call for Paper - EXTENDED DEADLINE** ***NOW OPEN THRU March 14th *** Visit the CIDOC 2018 Call for Papers page for submission guidelines and selection criteria: http://www.cidoc2018.com/call-papers About the CIDOC 2018 Theme** Heraklion, the modern capital of Crete, situated about 5 km north of Knossos, the ancient capital of Minoan Crete, and one of the exceptional monuments of the Bronze Age, welcomes you to come and enjoy its rich heritage alongside your participation in the 26th annual CIDOC Conference of the International Council of Museums in 2018 (CIDOC 2018). This year the conference, focuses on the topic of *provenance of knowledge*! Generating and tracing the ‘Provenance of Knowledge’ is a core element of good practice in documentation and thus, has been chosen as the theme of CIDOC 2018. Provenance of Knowledge refers to the attempt to trace the origins of the information and knowledge about an object, an entity or an idea in order to reconstruct the whole chain of creation, use, interpretation and dissemination of the object and our knowledge about it. The ultimate purpose of this reconstruction is to confirm, illustrate, and validate the information and knowledge contained in the documentation in order to facilitate understanding across times and cultures. In this way, it contributes to scholarly citation in information handling while connecting all the material evidence kept in museums and other memory institutions. The possibility to validate and/or disconfirm information and knowledge held by memory institutions has been greatly aided by the increasing use of digital technologies in documentation. However, this advancement in documentation has created new difficulties as the abundance of the available information makes it difficult to introduce standards and processes to model and maintain the development and validity of documented information. By focusing the issue of provenance of knowledge, the 2018 annual CIDOC conference aims to support museums by helping deepen our communal knowledge and understanding of documentation as a means of knowledge preservation, dissemination and exchange. We warmly invite you to participate in the conference and to help advance this important scientific inquiry with your experience and insight. You can enhance the community’s discussions on the harmonization of the processes to trace back information by presenting on a wide array of potential topics focusing on different potential lines of interest: Theoretical aspects, User experience, Innovative implementations for the analysis and documentation of information and knowledge. The overall aim is to work together to produce new insights into the Provenance of Knowledge in the documentation and memory institution community considered more broadly. More analytically, the proposed conference topics are as follows: · Object information as historical source · Object documentation and archival resources · Field research and object documentation · Oral tradition and witnessing information in connection with objects · Documentation and interdisciplinarity · Object documentation and analytical resources · Provenance of materials and techniques · Documentation for target groups (e.g. special needs) · Methods of knowledge verification and documentation of knowledge revision · Ethics of provenance of information · Provenance of knowledge and preservation of referred sources *Important Dates: * *12 February 2018*: Start date for early Conference Registration *14 March 2018*: Deadline for submission of abstract *31 May 2018:* End date for early Conference Registration *01 June 2018:* Start date for standard Conference Registration *31 July 2018:* Deadline for final paper *31 August 2018:* End date for standard Conference Registration *01 September 2018: *Start date for late Conference Registration The Local Organizing Committee of the CIDOC 2018 Conference -- :..::...::..::...::..: Trilce Navarrete m: +31 (0)6 244 84998 | s: trilcen | t: @trilcenavarrete w: trilcenavarrete.com ___ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l@mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/mcn-l@mcn.edu/

Visit the CIDOC 2018 Call for Papers page for submission guidelines and selection criteria: http://www.cidoc2018.com/call-papers *About the CIDOC 2018 Theme* The ‘Provenance of Knowledge’ is a core element of good practice in documentation and so is the theme of the next ICOM-CIDOC conference, in Heraklion-Crete-Greece from 29 September to 5 October 2018. As an essential aspect of documentation, Provenance of Knowledge refers to the attempt to trace the origins of the information and knowledge about an object, an entity or an idea in order to reconstruct the whole chain of creation, use, interpretation and dissemination of relevant information and knowledge. The ultimate purpose of this reconstruction is to confirm, illustrate, and validate the information and knowledge contained in the documentation in order to facilitate understanding across times and cultures. In this way, it contributes to scholarly citation in information handling while connecting all the material evidence kept in museums and other memory institutions. The validation of information and knowledge has been greatly helped by the increasing use of digital technologies in documentation. However, this advancement in documentation has created new difficulties as the abundance of the available information makes it difficult to introduce standards and processes to model and maintain the development and validity of documented information.

[MCN-L] Share your data and improve the MCN community
Hi everyone MCN's Metrics and Evaluation's SIG (Special Interest Group) is extremely interested in the practice of evaluating digital activities. Each fall, the change-agents of the digital transformation in the cultural sector come together at MCN's Annual Conference to showcase and share many of the most innovative digital technology-driven projects and to get inspired by visions of yet untapped possibilities to further advance the mission of the institutions in the cultural sector. And while the Annual Conference is predominantly innovation driven, we find that not enough attention has yet been given to evaluation. Research on the sustainability of digital heritage projects has shown that many technology projects fail to deliver the success they were hyped to bring while other projects yield little use. So the Metrics and Evaluation's SIG would like to explore the following question: What is the recipe for success? And is there a common understanding among cultural technologists as to what success is? Successful long-term projects tend to have clear goals, often backed by digital applications that support such goals (and not the other way around). In our industry, success seems to be predominantly goal-driven. Clarity of objectives (as measurable steps to reach a goal) together with in the output facilitate the formulation of strong value propositions. Key in the process is long-term documentation of activities. But what are the best metrics? With you help and support, we hope to start identifying what cultural institutions typically measure to evaluate digital activities. We will present the preliminary findings from this research at a panel during MCN2014. We will show 1) what cultural institutions find important enough to document, 2) what metrics are being used, and 3) what is being evaluated. To participate, simply email your contributions to data at mcn.edu by October 1, 2014. We are looking to collect the following data: - Data that your cultural institution collects on a regular basis. Ideally, you will send a data set (any format) including several months (or years). Whatever you have and want to share. - Reports that your cultural institution produces to explain the data (for some it may just be the print out of the data set). - List of projects / activities that are evaluated with the data set, or what does your cultural institution do with the data? Data will be presented in aggregated format so names of individuals and institutions will be concealed. One institution will be selected to highlight its approach to present at the ME-SIG panel. Be part of the MCN community and contribute to building best practice on the most important part of the digitization process: improving access to collections! For questions, contact Trilce Navarrete chair of ME-SIG at data at mcn.edu. -- :..::...::..::...::..: Trilce Navarrete PhD researcher and lecturer University of Amsterdam -Digital Heritage.

[MCN-L] MCN annual conference proceedings
there is *never* a dumb question ! Unfortunately, MCN does not archive proceedings (few presenters in fact write a paper). The best you can do is look at the MCN conference site and see the program abstracts http://wired.ivvy.com/event/MCN13/agenda if a presentation looks interesting, you may want to check their SlideShare / professional page for more information. This is a great opportunity to pose the question: what are the benefits / challenges of documenting conferences? as a historian I am all for it ! second question: what are the most efficient documentation forms? idea: could MCN organizers in Dallas recruit a few bloggers?

Dear colleagues, A student at the Cultural Information Science program of the University of Amsterdam is mapping the types of heritage content available for the visually impaired, in archives and museums. Do you know of projects on-line / on-site that present cultural heritage content for the visually impaired?

Very glad to hear of this. Self promotion and self evaluation. Listing the work one does helps identifying products and results, and hopefully also works to review how to improve, what is missing, and so forth. Very sorry I'm not able to be there this year. I do look forward the papers online :) all the best Trilce > -- > > Message: 2 > Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2007 16:33:55 -0800 > From: "Chris Alexander" > Subject: [MCN-L] Follow up to Honeysett Director, IT > Session > To: > Message-ID: > > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > > Hello, > > As a first time attendee of the MCN Conference, I > have to say that I was very fascinated by the > conversation going on about the relationship between > IT Professionals and their Directors.
