Thought it might be a good idea to respond to Alan's message, if I
may, on behalf of a lot of us:
Wow - thanks, Alan. This is great.

Next week Bruce Fraser will join me at the National Gallery to present
the UPDIG guidelines to all Gallery staff who are involved in image capture
for museum documentation, scanners and cameras, including those who work
outside of my Digital Imaging division.
There are more than 150 cameras & scanners in use, so perhaps 200 people are
involved in image capture without enterprise policies regarding file
formats, non-destructive image editing, digital preservation and other
workflow issues. The idea is to embrace decentralized image capture--a
central service cannot possibly fulfill all the imaging needs of a
museum--while providing ongoing education and direction about best
practices.
This will be a good test to see how UPDIG maps to "official and un-official"
museum imaging. We will then have practical experience which we can use to
broaden the UPDIG guidelines and to influence their growth in areas which
serve museum practice (e.g. digital preservation and fine art reproduction).
I'll report back to MCN-L at the annual meeting in Pasadena and also through
periodic updates to this list.
