Re: [MCN-L] Social Tagging for Museum Online Collections
Hi Neal, While not specifically a museum, the UK¹s Your Paintings Tagger from the Public Catalogue Foundation is a really good recent example of social tagging on art history collections. http://tagger.thepcf.org.uk In addition, their excellent work on Art Detective is not strictly social tagging, but uses similar principles to crowdsource more specific (and arguably useful) information about lightly documented works of art. http://www.thepcf.org.uk/artdetective/ Hope these are useful additions to your list!

Re: [MCN-L] Social Tagging for Museum Online Collections
Neil, You're probably already aware of it, but the Walters has an open tagging system, which doesn't require login. It appears as though there's either minimal moderator intervention, or none (if you're out there, please please correct me!). I'm a huge fan of their collections search and collections site, mainly because they include the tags, the images, the provenance (yay!) and even the conservation and exhibit information. It goes above and beyond what most collections search sites do. I can also see the use case for open/lightly moderated tagging, say for a class- you could tag it ARTHIST201 and share that with the students so they could study those objects? Plus, they let the tag really old go through (http://art.thewalters.org/browse/tag/really-old/), which I find both fitting, and hilarious. Cheers, Tracey Tracey Berg-Fulton, M.Litt.

Re: [MCN-L] handheld GPS devices for recording object locations
I'm thinking you should just use an app on a smartphone? There are tons around but it sounds like you need something basic - An app that allows you to go to a location and record a POI with some form of data and then export the list. iOS or Android should be fine. Just check how good the GPS unit is on the device or you could use something like this app which averages GPS coordinates to give a more accurate location: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.destil.gpsaveraging So in short save $200 and use what you have in your pocket!

Re: [MCN-L] handheld GPS devices for recording object locations
Edit: That app did seem like it hadn't been updated in a while. Try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blogspot.solheimsoftware.gps.location.saverhl=en I've used Ultra GPS Logger in the past while drive testing some tours; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flashlight.lite.gps.logger And try this search on the Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/search?q=ultra%20gps%20loggerc=appshl=en Plenty of options ;-) Glen On 12 June 2015 at 09:42, Glen Barnes g...@mytoursapp.com wrote: I'm thinking you should just use an app on a smartphone?
