HI all I am wondering how many of you in MCN land also manage a library collection at your museum. The Australian War Memorial has a library which is used by the staff and public and is housed in our research centre. There are 100,00+ items in the library collection, including books, maps, sheet music and aerial photographs. The questions I have are
1) How to you manage the collection? Do you use a LMS, CMS or something different? 2) If you use a CMS and an LMS, why? 3) Do any of you manage a library collection of a similar size in your CMS? How did you go with things like cataloguing in MARC and applying other library standards to your CMS? 4) If you do use a CMS to manage your library collection, which modules do you use? 5) Do you upload or download records/ contribute to something like Worldcat or LoC?a Thanks in advance Cheers Em [AWM Logo not displayed in text email] ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This message may contain confidential information and is intended only for its recipient(s).
