[MCN-L] Flash mini-survey of asset capacity

[Fullerton, Travis]

Happy Tuesday, everyone. I wanted to attempt a quick poll to measure how
much digital content museum's have to store and manage. This may turn into
a more formal and lengthy survey at some point, but I am just looking for
high level numbers at this stage. Please include your institution in your
response so we can gauge relative scale. Thanks!

What is your current server capacity for storing images and/or video?

Do you have a growth plan for expanding capacity on a regular basis? By how
much and how often?

Are there any unique challenges your institution faces related to storing
and managing media files?

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

-Travis

Great suggestion Douglas. I have taken a stab at an online survey -
hopefully this will be easy and facilitate more responses. I will post
results once I have some. Here's the link:

I'm with Amalyah on this, but suggest that summary be published here:
http://museumvideo.blogspot.ca/
With a link sent out via this listserve.
Also: possible to do this via an online survey? I'm imagining many of us
have plenty to say on the subject, but a long string of emails and/or
offline conversations seems rather time-consuming and not transparent.
My two cents' worth,
Douglas

[Fullerton, Travis (VMFA)]

Thanks Floyd, this is great. I'll add your responses to the survey. Good
luck with the new Division.

All, I discovered a minor flaw in my survey attempt - I forgot to ask what
institution you are with. I have corrected this, but if you have already
responded to the survey, would you mind emailing me off-list to let me
know who you are with. I want to at least get a sense of how museums of
different sizes deal with these issues.

Thanks again.

-Travis

We are a small museum and this area has grown out of the Technology and
Digital Media Department which has a staff of 10 people and comprises a
Technology Division, a Web and Digital Media Division and a brand new
Media Production Division.

For a few years we have produced short exhibitions and permanent
collections related videos with one full-time videographer and one
part-time AV tech/Audio Engineer. They are often helped by the
photographer who is part of the Curatorial Department.

Now I am officially creating a Media Production Division which reports to
me and will have two full-time staff, an AV Technician/Audio Engineer and
a Videographer/Media Producer and they will handle all AV production,
including live streaming of lectures as well as podcasts and exhibitions
as well as permanent collections related video production. We maintain
tight quality control over these productions.

Recently our Education Department began filming videos of some of the
short gallery talks given regularly by education interns. These are done
independently of the Technology Department by a part-time person in the
Education Department and are showcased in the Student Programs area of
our Web site.
We have no formal involvement with production of these videos, but they
do go past the Web team who keep eyes on quality and consistency and make
suggestions, if needed.

In regards to the archived lectures and exhibitions as well as permanent
collections related video production, we save both raw and edited footage
and have a large storage area network. Our IT Manager and Network Admin
handle storage issues but I realize that we need to work out a long term
plan as this area grows.

We use Vimeo, YouTube and Art Babble and ForaTV to make video accessible
via links (embeds) from our Web site.

This is all developing for us and I'll fine tune as we grow.
