Re: [MCN-L] Net Promoter Score Share?
Our overall museum NPS score is consistently in the 70s. So I'd say your weather-related hypothesis may have some merit. BTW: we just hosted COVES staff here at Mia, and we are working with them to extend the practices to art museums with COVES:ART. Stay tuned.

Re: [MCN-L] Custom urls vs "brand" urls for microsites
Jewel - IMHO it is best practice to keep "microsites" under your standard URL umbrella. If your administration feels that you *must* have a special URL (by the way, I know of no research that would support the efficacy of special URLs), then purchase that and just re-direct to your own site. Referral traffic to your special ex web presence is going to come from google, social media sites, ad click-thrus, direct email clicks, etc. Almost no one will be typing a full URL into a browser.

Re: [MCN-L] Budget for Digital
If we are talking only about operating budget, Nik's figures match what I've learned over the years. At Mia, we are at about that 5% figure. Capital is a different story. Technology accounts for more than 30% of the Capital budget year-over-year, and can vary widely. That figure is then adjusted according to how much fundraising we can accomplish to offset the hit on the museum's funds. In other words, it's complicated! - Douglas On Thu, Apr 14, 2016 at 12:04 PM, Nik Honeysett <nhoneys...@bpoc.org> wrote: > My completely unofficial, back-of-the-napkin, finger-in-the-wind, > two-year-old, but-from-reliable-sources (museum administrators) put the > average at just under 5%, with some outliers like the Getty at about 8%. > > -nik > > > Nik Honeysett | Chief Executive Officer > > BALBOA PARK ONLINE COLLABORATIVE > > M (805) 402-3326 P (619) 331-1974 E nhoneys...@bpoc.org nhoneys...@bpoc.org> > 2131 Pan American Plaza, San Diego, CA 92101 > > A technology collaboration that connects audiences to art, culture and > science. > > > On Apr 14, 2016, at 9:58 AM, Tim Rager <t...@seattleartmuseum.org> wrote: > > Informal survey – I’m curious how much of your museum budget is dedicated > to IT or Digital?

Re: [MCN-L] MCN ITSig: IT management conferences
Thumbs up on SIM http://www.simnet.org/ - I've presented at the regional meetings, and it's definitely focused more on IT and it's also got the benefit of being cross-industry. In addition, likely to fit within a museum budget. I advise caution on something called CIO Synergy that organizes meetings around the country. I did not have a great experience attending, seemed more promotional than anything else, and I suspect they sold my contact info widely - started getting nailed with cold calls right afterward. Interop http://www.interop.com/lasvegas/ is the biggie, but I found it overwhelming and hard to connect to my day-to-day work. I've heard good things about TechMentor, but I've never attended https://techmentorevents.com/Home.aspx I've also heard good things about CIO Magazine events http://events.cio.com/ehome/index.php?eventid=95551#.VXYRqEYjmUM but again I have not attended one.

Re: [MCN-L] hit me with your tech-related acronyms!
Check this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computing_and_IT_abbreviations I think your goal is to boil this down a little for a museum audience, laudable but a large task. I agree with Rob that it would be good to be some kind of shared work space available online. Anecdotally, one of my favorites in our sector is that museum technology's CMS is not the same CMS as the rest of the world.

Re: [MCN-L] Liquidating Hardware
In Minnesota, we're lucky to have this organization: http://www.pcsforpeople.com/ I would hope that there is something similar near to you. You might even consider contacting PCs for People to see if they know of other organizations doing similar work. Some other things to keep in mind: - Caution over software licensing and proprietary data: make sure to reformat or remove + destroy all hard drives - Staff disclosure: staff will want to take old computers home themselves, but it's generally a bad idea in terms of tax implications and potential support issues - Cost: many salvage companies will want to charge you to remove your equipment; these charges might be negotiable, so push hard and/or find a service that is free - Document: all serial numbers, hard drive destruction/certification, tax receipts, expenses, written contractual agreements, etc. - Make sure that Accounting and Legal are totally on-board before doing anything!

[MCN-L] What ticketing?
Just implemented Siriusware for ticketing and donations here at the MIA.We've wrestled with it a bit to get it properly configured, but it's a powerful and capable system. And the only one that met our full spec. It's also in use at a few other cultural heritage sector organizations, likely to be a growing base. Note that we will be integrating Siriusware with our soon-to-be live CRM using salesforce + NGO Connect http://www.salesforcefoundation.org/introducing-ngo-connect/ . A very powerful combination, we have big plans to use these tools to drive audience engagement, personalization, and loyalty in ways that older, museum-centric systems just can't accomplish. Stay tuned. We'll be out on the conference circuit talking about this new approach in the coming months. - Douglas -- Douglas Hegley Director of Technology Minneapolis Institute of Arts 2400 Third Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55404 (612) 870-3072 | dhegley at artsmia.org | www.artsmia.org On Tue, Oct 28, 2014 at 3:11 PM, Frank Kennedy fkennedy at nrm.org wrote: I'm sure this is answered somewhere, but...

Currently video content it is being generated in various departments by contractors, interns, or volunteers - and it is all over the place. I would like to get a sense of how others manage multimedia production at your institutions. I know there is a Media Production SIG, so I am particularly keen to hear from those folks. Is video production a unique department? If not, where does it fall? Do you have dedicated staff for video production? Who? How many? How is the finished content stored? DAMs? Hard copy? Do you save edited projects only or all raw footage as well? Who manages the storage? Just curious how others are handling this.

[MCN-L] Research Project - Crowdsourcing for Museums
The Naturalis Biodiversity Center in the Netherlands is crowdsourcing cataloguing of the digitization of their collection. Also from the recent MCN Conference: Digitizing Nature with a Live Audience Speakers: Maarten Heerlienhttp://wired.ivvy.com/event/MCN13/speaker#62610, Kirsten Van Hulsen http://wired.ivvy.com/event/MCN13/speaker#63094 With roughly 37 million biological and geological specimens, Naturalis Biodiversity Center, the national museum of natural history of the Netherlands, maintains one of the five largest natural history collections in the world. To make this collection accessible to scientists, students, and nature enthusiasts worldwide, Naturalis is carrying out a large-scale program to digitize a cross-section of seven million objects ranging from mounted specimens and herbarium sheets to fossils and antique nature books, and from mammoths to mites. The results of these efforts are published online through Europeana and other aggregators, and from the end of 2013 through Naturalis's new online biodiversity portal. Museum visitors in Leiden can witness the process of specimen digitization, and even engage in it, in the exhibition space called LiveScience. We will introduce the program, its background, and its goals with a short video. Then we will elaborate on the concept of live digitization and the motivations for it, talk about the challenges we meet, and conclude by discussing concrete results we've harvested while digitizing collections in front of a live audience of visitors and getting them to engage in the digitization process themselves. I'm sure they'd be happy to discuss the project with you. - Douglas -- Douglas Hegley Director of Technology Minneapolis Institute of Arts 2400 Third Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55404 (612) 870-3072 | dhegley at artsmia.org | www.artsmia.org
