[MCN-L] Security Lapse Exposes Personal Facebook Photos
Facebook scandale du jour: Security Lapse Exposes Personal Facebook Photos A security lapse made it possible for unwelcome strangers to peruse personal photos posted on Facebook Inc.'s popular online hangout, circumventing a recent upgrade to the Web site's privacy controls. The Associated Press verified the loophole Monday after receiving a tip from a Byron Ng, a Vancouver, Canada, computer technician. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23785561/ Any chance these constant headlines about Facebook privacy problems are trying to ...tell us something?

[MCN-L] Security Lapse Exposes Personal Facebook Photos
Any chance these constant headlines about Facebook privacy problems are trying to ...tell us something? Yes ... that the Internet, social networks, instant messaging systems and email clients tend to mess things up, let in spam, and Trojan horses, grant access to files that are not are not rightfully yours while silo-ing off others for no appropriate reason ... I would recommend shunning anything that has a modem or router attached to it or, just to be sure, steer clear away from anything that needs electricity to turn itself on ...

[MCN-L] Google Maps and Cultural Heritage
I've created similar applications (under NDA, so I can't post links) in both Drupal and Joomla. Both platforms have modules/plugins that support the Google Maps API. Pretty easy to put together, and hey... people love maps. The Drupal solution would include the GMap module and possibly the Location module: http://drupal.org/ http://drupal.org/project/gmap http://drupal.org/project/location There are several Google Maps plugins for Joomla, but the most popular non-commercial solution is the Google Maps plugin: http://www.joomla.org/ http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/external-contents/maps-a-locations/maps/1147 I'm aware of a similar solution for Wordpress, though I have no experience with it: http://wordpress.org/ http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-maps-for-wordpress/ There are a handful of helpful screencasts on YouTube for doing this type of thing... check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LSwz_eJ7kg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIQBg2SREu8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YHh4JGpTig Good Luck, Bill Bostick -Original Message- From: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu [mailto:mcn-l-boun...@mcn.edu] On Behalf Of Ari Davidow Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 7:09 AM To: Museum Computer Network Listserv Subject: [MCN-L] Google Maps and Cultural Heritage We are working on a small project that we hope will involve Google Maps - in our case, it would involve the ability of site visitors to upload an image and post a location.

[MCN-L] Repository of Collections Management related materials
Dear MCN, I seem to recall that in the early 1990s a well-known art library began to collect information related to the history and practice of collections management and automation. Does anyone on this list know of any such collection efforts? I would like to donate my accumulated materials rather than disposing of them. I have four or five boxes of such data including (among other works) Data Models Technical Reports (such as David Bearman's) Systems analyses and projects created for key museums Plans for image projects Advertisements and related ephemera Documentation of conferences and symposia Materials related to intellectual property issues. ...and much more. For those on this list who may not know me, I worked in this field for approximately fifteen years, until about the year 2000. If anyone thinks it useful, they are invited to consult my on-line CV, available http://studiolo.org/cv.htmHERE Feel free to send this notice to other workers in this field. /Robert A. Baron robert at studiolo.org
[MCN-L] Google Maps and Cultural Heritage
Thanks so much for offering all these examples of map-based initiatives! Great references all. We're working with IMA Lab on an initiative to display a database of 32,000 outdoor sculptures on a Google map of the US, along with user-generated photos of sculptures added to our Save Outdoor Sculpture! Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/saveoutdoorsculpture/ More information and access to the Save Outdoor Sculpture! database is here: http://americanart.si.edu/research/programs/sos/ You might be interested also in the great Wikipedia Saves Public Art initiative led by Jennifer Mikulay and Richard McCoy, which uses the SOS! Database as a starting point. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikipedia_Saves_Public_Art We are hopeful that our map will be helpful to that and similar projects as well. I'll invite you all to try out our beta SOS! Map as soon as it's ready!

[MCN-L] Repository of Collections Management related materials
Clearinghouse on Art Documentation and Computerization This documentation center and information service conceived and implemented by Patricia J. Barnett was originally hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Watson Library and later at the Frick Art Reference Library no longer exists. It collected and disseminated information related to art, museum, and library informatics. Most of the information that was once in the database can now be found in Web sites. An article by Karen Parles (Spectra, Summer 1996, 23(4), p33-35) discusses the impact of the Internet on this service and how Web sites were doing the work that was once done by the Clearinghouse. -Original Message- From: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu [mailto:mcn-l-boun...@mcn.edu] On Behalf Of Robert A.
