Content-Type: text/plain;   charset=us-ascii

I have a client who wants to share collection items with interested parties. 
Rich data and hi resolution images are managed by a database. The client wishes 
to share only selected works and selected data  with selected curators and 
scholars.
Can anyone recommend a vehicle for doing this without spending thousands? 
Perhaps with a password that can be divulged for access?  Important that Google 
or other search engines can't access the data. 

I look forward to your thoughts, with thanks, Suzanne

Hi Suzanne

Take a look at http://cultureobject.co.uk/ - an open source WordPress plugin 
which we built to suck in museum collection data from a variety of sources. I 
don’t know what your database is, but CSV is supported, so that could work. 
Once stuff is in WordPress, you can then lock it down - password, membership, 
etc etc.

Shout if you need help implementing - m...@thirty8.co.uk 

cheers

Mike

Re: [MCN-L] Collection % cataloguing benchmarks

[Nick Poole]

Dear Adrian,

Thanks for raising this. In the UK, we tend not to have captured information 
about specific proportions of collections catalogued, and to what extent. 
Instead, we have developed a set of Performance Indicators for Collections 
Management which focus on outputs such as access to and use of collections and 
availability of expert knowledge in support of them. 

The Performance Indicators are freely available at 
http://www.collectionstrust.org.uk/collections-skills/collections-management-performance-indicators
 in case they are useful.

It will be really interesting to see how other larger collections respond - in 
my experience, it tends to be a moving target. At the Collections Trust, we 
strongly emphasise putting in place appropriate procedures for accession (to 
stop the problem from getting worse) and then a managed and prioritised plan 
for retrospective documentation, at least to inventory level.

We also find that projects, particularly aggregation projects like Europeana, 
have a positive effect in driving improvements in the quality of the recorded 
information, and the application of standards for things like terminology and 
rights clearance.

I look forward to hearing how people respond!

All best,

Nick

[MCN-L] collection

[Annamaria Poma-Swank]

To art history librarians, curators, art museums staff,

I am  working on four seventeen hundred manuscripts by Luigi Lanzi (
http://www.luigilanzi2010.it/)
Since Lanzi mentions many collectors of 1700 Florence...I am also writing
a proposal for a book on
the Collezionismo privato del 1700 a Firenze, sponsored by the Plolo
Museale Fiorentino and the University of Florence.
While I am doing my projects I have had the chance to meet a lot of
Italian private collectors.
So far I met an antiquarian/collector who told me about a work by Leonardo
that is for sale
(expertise by Carlo Pedretti, free to leave the country)
Please if  museums curators and others are interested,  write to me in
private.
My best regards and Buon Anno

Dear All,
I would like to announce that my report on Museums Collection Management 
Systems
has been published online.
http://documenti.rinascimento-digitale.info/Collection_Management_Systems
The report was intended primary for Italian audience, however I think that 
it is also a modest but useful contribution to the state of the art (as of 
April 2008)of the use and development of new museums technoligies.

[MCN-L] Collection Management System

[Eisenhardt, Chuck]

Macromedia 'Contribute' passed our evaluation with flying
colors. As Mike Rippy suggests, having a organizational
model that enables broad content participation while
preserving controls can be an elusive objective. This
software seems to let you tailor permissions quite finely,
putting control points just about wherever you'd want them.

Alas, here we still march on with a single code-person 
performing design and coding on off-line content. 

Contribute is $150 per, possibly less with edu discount 
if your should qualify. It wants to work with Dreamweaver.
