Dear MCNers, Sending out a second call to complete our collections management survey which can be found here: http://bit.ly/cms-survey <http://bit.ly/cms-survey> please take the survey or forward to a colleague who will.
To refresh, the study is on behalf of LYRASIS and funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, to investigate the technology landscape and evolving tactics and strategy around collections management in museums. We’re uncovering some very interesting stuff, and I’ll share a visualization of a sample set of digitization information in a variety of museums. https://www.bpoc.org/assets/img/projects/Digitization.png <https://www.bpoc.org/assets/img/projects/Digitization.png> The colors in each add up to 100% and represent the following: No analogue or digital representation Analogue only Digitized low-res only Digitized hi-res Can you guess which category the graph is sorted by? Please take the survey to maximize our dataset - http://bit.ly/cms-survey <http://bit.ly/cms-survey> -nik ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nik Honeysett | Chief Executive Officer | BPOC | www.bpoc.org M (805) 402-3326 P (619) 331-1974 E [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> 1549 El Prado, Suite 8, San Diego, CA 92101 A non-profit technology collaboration connecting audiences to art, culture & science. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > On Dec 13, 2017, at 4:32 PM, Nik Honeysett <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear MCNers, > > A few weeks ago I posted about BPOC’s partnership with Ithaka S+R on a > collections management study on behalf of LYRASIS and funded by the Andrew W. > Mellon Foundation, to investigate the technology landscape and evolving > tactics and strategy around collections management in museums.
