We're currently looking into purchasing a tablet PC or iPad (not sure yet) for use in several activities that our Preventive Conservation staff undertakes: IPM monitoring, Temp and RH monitoring and, the latest, taking images of objects for documentation. The more reasons we have, the better! Efficiency is on list, as well as the ability to chart trends. The only downside brought up by our IT crew is security. If we use wireless in our museum, they told us that tablets and pads are a higher security risk than a laptop. I'll admit ignorance to this and how it all works. The good news is that we're looking to use it as a "high-tech clipboard" to store the data then physically link a desktop and the tablet to transfer the data. I setup an Excel sheet with Registration to log our pests about a year ago. This is huge step up from the many years of writing them into 3 binders! Our museum uses KE Emu and we already know, if setup correctly, an Excel sheet can be imported into the system. We have not got a "Pest Module" in KE started up yet, funds and time are still needed, however just working with a frame work that will gel with our current system has the potential to save lots of time transferring data. Hope this helps! I look forward to hearing how it all goes for you and I'll keep you all posted on how things go on my end. Matt Matthew A.

It sounds like a great way forward! It would also be helpful for me as I am currently writing a dissertation on implementing IPM in small museums or those with a very low budget and few staff.. this might be a way of making it making it less time consuming?

Has anyone done this, and if so, what app or program are you using? We currently use an Access database and are thinking about using File Maker Pro which can be easily managed on the iPad. Thanks in advance! Anne G.
