Opening on May 19, 2009, the International Museum Studies Masters Program is 
presenting an exhibit about the different uses of masks and the transformation 
of faces at the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg, Sweden. As a springboard 
we are using masks from the ethnographic collections of the Museum of World 
Culture, to dive into the larger world of the masks we all wear. Several of the 
objects shown have never previously been displayed to the public.

The International Museum Studies Program at Gothenburg University is a renowned 
program with students coming from 18 countries within the global cultural 
sector. The program is within the Department of Museion, a faculty housed at 
the Museum of World Culture, which was recently awarded with the title ?Museum 
of the Year 2009?.

In connection with the exhibition we are also arranging a variety of events for 
people of all ages, and with all interests. The opening event; ?Find the New 
Side of You?, will launch the exhibition. This event will be held at the Museum 
of World Culture on May 19, 2009, from 18:00- 20:00, an occasion of festive 
exploration to come as you are, or as who you want to be!

Yours Sincerely,

I'm wondering what size(s) of images people are using in their internal 
databases? 1024 pixels on the long side plus a thumbnail view? What size do you 
use for online purposes?

Many thanks!

Hi Danielle,

Our database is MimsyXG and we supply it a 180x180 tombstone image and a 
1024x768 full screen view for research.  We keep 4000x4000 pixel images in our 
photo archive but do not mount these to the network to avoid congestion or 
accidental distribution to external clients without copyright clearance in 
place first.

Thanks,

[MCN-L] talking of IT-strategies...

[Marco de Niet]

Dear all
 
Please allow me to draw your attention to a new internatonal conference on 
digital strategies for heritage, DISH2009. The call for proposals is below. 
 
Kind regards
Marco de Niet
 
=
 

What is DISH2009?

Digital Strategies for Heritage (DISH) is a new bi-annual international 
conference on digital heritage and the opportunities it offers to cultural 
organisations. Triggered by changes in society, heritage organisations face 
many challenges and need to make strategic decisions about their services. 

DISH2009 aims at sharing knowledge about and experiences with digital 
strategies. What roles do cultural heritage institutions have in a networked 
society? What is the impact of digitisation on these organisations? Why are 
certain digital services more successful than others? Which business models are 
suited to the cultural heritage sector? Why would archives, museums and 
libraries co-operate? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in 
keynotes, presentations, debates and workshops.

 

Who benefits from DISH2009? 

The conference will be for all staff of cultural heritage institutions that are 
responsible for policy issues and/or management of digital collections and 
services. The conference will enable participants to learn more about strategic 
decisions on all aspects of digital heritage services.

 

How can you contribute? 

The Programme Committee seeks contributions from professionals in archives, 
museums, libraries and other heritage institutions and from researchers or 
innovators outside the heritage field. The contribution can be a paper 
presentation (max. 25 minutes) or a workshop (either 2 hours or half day). 

 

The paper or workshop should address one of the following main conference 
topics: 

?  Strategies for innovation:

?  Digital heritage in mash-ups

?  Enhanced interoperability

?  Access to cultural heritage through visualisation (3d, gaming etc.)

?  From secured playgrounds into the open web

?  Open everything (standards, source, ID etc.)

?  Services and tools: always in a beta stage?

?  Strategies for collaboration

?  Opportunities for on line collaboration

?  The value of interdisciplinary co-operation (culture, science and 
business)

?  The relevance of national and regional portals

?  User involvement

?  The role of the creative industries

?  Strategies for the unwired future

?  Heritage on mobile devices

?  Culture on the map / Geoweb

?  Locative media

?  Interfacing for crossmedia

?  Business strategies

?  New roles versus old roles

?  Understanding use patterns

?  Changing perspectives on collections

?  Hybrid business models

?  Achieving sustainability and permanent access

?  From crowd sourcing to crowd funding

?  Cost reduction through shared services

?  Restrictions and opportunities through IPR

?  Management strategies

?  Creating favorable conditions for innovation

?  The impact of the digital front office on the back office

?  Managing your digital assets

?  Measuring your digital collections

?  Investing in staff competencies

 

If you would like to contribute to the conference, please submit a proposal, 
which consists of an abstract (max. 400 words in English) and a short bio, 
before 30 May 2009. We welcome any contributions that are based on research or 
experience and that "look beyond the hypes". The abstract should address how 
heritage institutions have responded or should respond to changes triggered by 
ICT. Further instructions are available on the online Conference Proposal 
Submission Form at www.dish2009.nl. 

 

Who is organising DISH2009? 

DISH2009 builds on a series of successful national conferences on digital 
heritage in the Netherlands (2004-2008) and is organised in the spirit of the 
ICHIM conferences (1991-2007). The main organisers of the conference are the 
Netherlands Institute for Heritage and the DEN foundation. The Programme 
Committee consists of representatives from Europeana, the Association of 
European Research Libraries LIBER,  the Flemish interface centre for cultural 
heritage FARO, Virtueel Platform (Netherlands Sector Institute for e-culture) 
and the EU-project PrestoPrime. A group of experts across the globe advices the 
Programme Committee. See www.dish2009.nl   for more 
information.
