[MCN-L] [NE SIG] Inaugural SIG meeting to be held at MFA Boston - what dates work best?
Meeting date preference; #1 July 15 #2 July 8 #3 can't attend #4 can't attend Interested in how museums are using and expanding collection management systems to meet the on-line collection delivery and data harvesting needs of today's world. The Yale Center for British Art has tried to meet these needs, but we feel constrained by our collection management system that is not keeping up with the times. I'm away for the month of June, but could participate if the meeting is held July 15. The July 8 meeting is a little too soon to prepare. The regional sig is a great idea. I look forward to attending.

Hi all, I am pleased to announce that the Museum of Fine Arts here in Boston, which recently opened a stunning new wing, has offered to host the inaugural meeting of MCN's also-recently-opened "Northeast" SIG. Why have a regional SIG and a regional SIG meeting? Partly we do it because the annual MCN conference comes once a year, and partly because it is far easier to attend a local networking/programmatic event than to take several days off to fly elsewhere in the country. As tech professionals at cultural heritage organizations there are few opportunities to meet/network with peers, find out what they are doing, learn current best practices, and otherwise catch up on what happens outside our local day-to-day experiences. We are currently putting together a program for the day, but have tentatively identified four dates in June or July (see below), each on a Friday, for a program that is tentatively scheduled to run from 10am to 4pm, followed by a tour of the MFA's new wing (or other MFA tour, tbd). Your mission, at the moment, is to respond to me asap: - indicating which dates work for you, ordered by preference, by this Friday, May 20; Friday, June 10 Friday, June 17 Friday, July 8 Friday, July 15 - along with any program ideas/preferences - especially areas where you would like to participate; - help spread the word. Although most regional events are closed to everyone but MCN members, we'd like this one to be open. Next year, we may be more stringent, but this year is for fun. If you are a techie at a Museum, Archive, Library, or other cultural heritage institution, we'd like to invite you to participate and to attend. Many thanks, and I hope to see you all soon at our first NE SIG meet-up, Ari Davidow adavidow at jwa.org
