Re: [MCN-L] Digital Media Departments

[Deborah Wythe]

At the Brooklyn Museum, the Digital Lab is a separate department answering to 
the Deputy Director for Administration -- parallel to Technology. We handle all 
imaging (photography & scanning), digital asset management, licensing in and 
out, and copyright, plus managing still and film shoot requests. Staff of 6 (2 
photographers, 1 R/shoot manager, 1 picture researcher, 1 imaging archivist, 
plus myself, dept. manager, database and copyright nerd) plus 2-3 unpaid 
interns at any given time.

Needless to say, we work closely with Tech staff, who handle the network side 
of our DAM; with Collections, where we interact with TMS; and with all the 
various departments who use and request images: design, public info, 
development, publications, curatorial, exhibitions, libraries/archives, 
education -- pretty much everybody.

Subject: [MCN-L] Digital Media Departments

Hello MCN’ers,
 
I’m sure this question has been answered before, but how are you incorporating 
Digital Media with your IT departments?  Are you combining these into 1 
department?  Or are they two separate departments?  I understand some larger 
museums may have 2, but what about medium and small-sized museums?  And what 
responsibilities are covered under your “Digital Media” umbrella?
 
Also, do you have an org charts to share that may give a sense of overall 
structure?
 
Thanks!
