Hello all! I'm currently enrolled in the Museum Technologies class at my graduate program at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. For the semester term paper, I have elected to write about Information Technology (IT) and how it fits within the museum organization. While I have some information into possible solutions (outsourcing, internal, etc.), I would really like to include my own research about the subject. That's where I need your help!
Please answer the following questions, as best you can, so that I can gain better insight into this subject. I hope everyone can respond to me personally (leslieann.meyer at gmail.com) by Tuesday, November 28, 2006. Answers will only be used for this class project. I really appreciate your assistance! 1. What is the name of your museum? 2. Where are you located? 3. How (and why) would you define the size of your museum? 4. Does your museum have a separate Information Technology (IT) department? If so, where is it located in the organizational structure, i.e. to whom does it report? 5. Does your museum outsource for its information technology? If so, what sort of relationship do you have with these vendors? To whom do they report? 6. If you do not outsource or have an internal IT department, what solution does your museum have for its information technology needs? 7. What are some of the benefits of the IT solution within your museum? 8. What are some of the downfalls of the IT solution within your museum? 9. What other information about your institution regarding Information Technology should I be aware? 10. Tell me about yourself: name, title and general job description within your museum. Again, I really appreciate any insight you can provide into Information Technology within the museum structure. I'm looking forward to hearing back from you!
