Perian, TechSoup has a collection of Technology Planning resources at: http://www.techsoup.org/learningcenter/techplan/index.cfm It's a bit of a hodgepodge, but some of the articles are about how to develop a plan. They're not specific to museums, but are generally for small organizations without IT staffs.
I also have links to technology planning resources on my web site: http://www.rlweiner.com/resources.html#plan Robert __________________________ Robert L.

As I am the defacto techie on staff (ha!), I think it's up to me to start the process of developing a technology plan as soon as possible. Does anyone know of any good resources to help me develop a technology plan, especially for museums who do not have dedicated technology directors or support on staff? Has anyone been through this process or have been in a similar situation who might be able to give me advice as to where to start, or roadblocks you encountered, etc., etc? Thanks so much in advance! -- Perian Sully Collection Database and Records Administrator Judah L.
