Dear Nancy and all, You have a lot of company out here in mcn-l land—many of us are working with the same situations and the same puzzles.   For any of you like-minded souls out there, I recommend coming to the MCN conference in Boston next month, November 2-5.  Space is still available and with the theme Digits Fugit! Preserving Knowledge Into the Future you’ll find much of the programming is directly related to preserving and managing digital images.   Take a look at the program by clicking here: http://www.mcn.edu/Mcn2005/mcn2005sessions.htm.   Hope to see you there,       Marla Misunas Collections Information Manager Collections Information and Access San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (415) 357- 4186 (voice)             Check out SFMOMA Collections Online at www.sfmoma.org _____________________________________________ Vice President/President Elect, Museum Computer Network Conference Co-Chair, Boston 2005 http://www.mcn.edu   From: Nancy Pinn [mailto:np...@thewalters.org] Sent: Monday, October 03, 2005 1:23 PM To: mcn-l@mcn.edu Subject: Digital Imaging   The Walters Art Museum is preparing to move into the digital imaging age! One of our major stumbling blocks is how to store our images.  Do we have two image servers -- one for the photo studio and one for everything else -- or do we have one image server.  What software do we use to manage the images -- collection and non-collection.   We have three major types of images      authorized collection images taken by our photographer      images taken by our conversation division      non-collection images which includes           images of our buildings           images of social/development events -- gala, parties, etc.           images of educational events -- family day, seminars, lectures, etc. We are using Argus for our collections management system.   I would appreciate being able to correspond and/or talk with any of you who are in the midst of this process or have a digital imaging plan in place.   Thank you, Nancy       Nancy Pinn The Walters Art Museum 600 North Charles Street Baltimore MD  21131 410-547-9000 ext 339 www.thewalters.org Palace of Wonders: The New Galleries of Renaissance and Baroque Art opens October 22   --- You are currently subscribed to mcn_mcn-l as: mmisu...@sfmoma.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-mcn_mcn-l-12800...@listserver.americaneagle.com --- You are currently subscribed to mcn_mcn-l as: rlancefi...@mail.wesleyan.edu To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-mcn_mcn-l-12800...@listserver.americaneagle.com The information contained in this electronic mail message (including any attachments) is confidential information that may be covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 USC Sections 2510-2521, intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above, and may be privileged.  If the reader of this message is not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any dissemination, distribution, or copying of this communication, or the taking of any action based on it, is strictly prohibited.  If you have received this communication in error, please immediately notify me and delete the original message.  Thank you.
