Thanks Dana, Ben and Marla,
This is very helpful. So as I understand it, currently there is not an
automated way to export it. It has to be done manually?
Is there the ability to create plug ins for the systems?

Chris,
The plug-in question would be one for Robb at Gallery Systems.
The export goes like this: I copy the datafile & bring it up in our
Pachyderm-ready version of EmbARK. Then I do a file export through
an xml template. It's not automated, but it's a lot faster than
hand-coding. :)

Chris,
They can also create reports that can help you export things in a specific
way, Robb has created a number of these for us here at our gallery. I think
he's your best bet. Email: embarksupport at GALLERYSYSTEMS.COM or call (510)

He has an assistant as well that you may be abl
Hi all:
In the interest of streamlining our collections inventory (down from 3-4
years to 6 months - EEK!), we're cutting back on taking more formal
studio shots of objects and simply doing brief snapshots.
We're also just about to release our database online, and we only have
about 2000 im
Does anyone have implementation/administration experience with web based Course
Management Systems. If so which ones for what tasks? I have found the
following open source options:

Hi Perian,
We made the decision to put low-quality shots in our database and online.
Because if we waited until we photographed everything beautifully, we'd
never get done. We also wanted to provide access to the collection (our
mission) and this was one way to do it.
However, you're right. This
At the Science Museum in London we've decided to release the low
quality snaps on our catalogue search, with the view that they're
better than nothing.
It's part of a small catalogue project, and won't affect on-going work
to make better quality records and images available through more
user-frien
Hi Perian,
We're prettty much on the pro side of this at the Brooklyn Museum.
We've done some supervised storeroom photography projects -- photography
interns teamed up with curators and provided with a simple seamless set,
lights, and a tripod and with our photographers as technical backup. W
Colleagues,
Within the next few months, we hope to be able to select
photo-management software from one of several vendors we are
considering. Three of our major criteria wishes for this software are a)
the ability to add metadata in batches, b) batch conversion of file
formats and c) the possibi
Hi Peter,
The digitization unit of the University of Virginia special collections
library uses Microsoft Expression Media, formerly known as iView, to manage
their images. You can record metadata about each item. The great thing
about this software is you can export to iView's proprietary XML ex
Perian,
We recently implemented a new inventory system at the Ohio Historical Society
as well. We have 58 sites throughout the state that were scheduled to be
inventoried over the next ten years. Instead, we are now doing 18 sites this
year alone. Needless to say, we have done away with studio-
Dear Perian:
Good question. At Cleveland our philosophy, for the past decade, has been that
most people would prefer to see an image than no image, but it takes a long
time to photograph 30,000 objects in the studio. So if we do not have an
approved studio image, but we do have an image, we t
Has anyone had any luck getting VMWare to extend its academic
licensing/pricing to your museum (for those of you that aren't
university supported)? I don't think they even have charity/non-profit
licensing.
Thanks,
