Re: [MCN-L] FW: CAA Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for the Visual Arts

Thanks Diane (and Melissa) for bringing this to the list's attention. I note with a sigh that while the Code says (p12) Museums... - Downloadable images made available online should be suitable in size for full-screen projection or display on a personal computer or mobile device, but

Re: [MCN-L] FW: CAA Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for the Visual Arts

The Museums section of the guideline is, in my opinion, the weakest part. It's probably due to the fact that CAA represents museums, but primarily by representing the individual scholars. A revision will be needed. For now, this is a good first step, as it reaches a much broader audience and

Re: [MCN-L] hit me with your tech-related acronyms!

Check this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computing_and_IT_abbreviations I think your goal is to boil this down a little for a museum audience, laudable but a large task. I agree with Rob that it would be good to be some kind of shared work space available online. Anecdotally, one of

[MCN-L] hit me with your tech-related acronyms!

Hi, all... I'm trying to compile a list of tech-related acronyms that might be important for museum staff to know and understand -- or at the very least, recognize. Right now, I'm just gathering EVERYthing I can think of -- file extensions (PDF, JPG), emerging technologies (BLE, NFC),
