Greetings from Oklahoma! Under new leadership at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, we are currently creating a long-range plan for the next five years. We?ve been asked what positions or departments we would add to the current staff, and I would like the museum to add a department dedicated to technology. This department would help the Education department with digital learning initiatives, but also assist the PR department with creating and disseminating media. To be a successful museum in the 21st-century, we must look to technology. Without staff members dedicated to technology, however, the museum will fall behind given how quickly technology changes. I am interested in museums that have a staff member or department dedicated to technology. What works well? What does not work? We are really hoping to have some models from other institutions for a starting point. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Warm regards, Jessica -- Jessica Farling Curator of Academic Programs Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art 405.325.5990 | jrfarling at ou.edu Admission is always free thanks to the generous support of the OU Office of the President and the OU Athletics Department! _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://mcn.edu/pipermail/mcn-l/
