Hi Carissa,
In the spirit of not being at all helpful but enjoying the opportunity to roll
out a true favourite...
Back in the 90's we had a digital project which we gave the acronym: SQUIRREL
NUTKIN
It stood for:
Sequential Query User Interface Resourcing a Research Electronic Library
Notably User-oriented Technology for Keeping the Information Needed
All my best,
Simon

Subject: [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), web-related (HTML, PHP)...
So...
- Are there any that you think are particularly relevant/important?
- What terms do you frequently toss around during museum tech meetings?
- Are there any that are often misunderstood/misinterpreted?
I'd be happy to share my "final" list when I've got it ready...
FIRE AWAY!!
Thanks...
Carissa
