Greetings, CAL SIG - Proposals for MCN 2007 Conference sessions or workshops will be accepted from February 5th through March 2nd, so I'm finally sending out notes from our meeting at the 2006 Conference where we came up with a number of great ideas. If this makes sense, let Margaret know if you are interested in working with MCN colleagues on any of the ideas we brainstormed. She can collect these responses and somehow connect people who are interested in the same topic. Margaret's email is mkendrick at sfmoma.org. Of course, please don't hesitate to come up with your own proposals! For our between-conferences meeting in SoCal, Diana Folsom reports there is an opportunity to pair our meeting with a meeting of SoCal museum educators. Any thoughts on this idea?

[MCN-L] Attachment settings...
Plain text fine with me. Will live URLs be included? My vote is to follow the general listserv practice of no attachments. - - - Margaret Kendrick Documentation Specialist San Francisco Museum of Modern Art mkendrick at sfmoma.org (415) 538-2681 -Original Message- From: Rob Lancefield [mailto:rlancefi...@wesleyan.edu] Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 9:06 AM To: mcn-l at toronto.mediatrope.com Cc: Christina DePaolo; Kendrick, Margaret; Misunas, Marla; Cathryn Goodwin Subject: Re: [MCN-L] Attachment settings... Richard et al (cc'ed folks, any opinions on the question below?), I've just tweaked two Mailman settings: 1. View subscriber list is now set to private (admin only) 2. Content filtering now also denies .zip, .vcf, .sit, .hqx Here's a question re: filtering. My strong preference is to kill all attachments (even gif and jpg) and to dumb down HTML messages automatically to plaintext before allowing their text content to post, in a way transparent to senders (no annoying error messages). This was what we decided to do before the site launch and thought we'd done, but it turned out to be unimplementable. Mailman can do this, but what do we think about the underlying policy question? Now that we can, I believe we still should. It's standard practice on virtually all lists I'm on (distinct from announce-only lists, where traffic is much lighter and only emanates from one organazitional sender), and is beneficial in ways I won't belabor. But does anyone have a strong feeling and rationale in favor of *allowing* HTML, GIF, JPEG etc.? Not to open a can of worms--just don't want to be hastily unilateral. If no one speaks up today for a change to a looser policy, Richard (and I think you might?), I imagine a wildcard can strip all attachments. I didn't see it in my quick dip into the admin interface just now, but maybe you know? If not, and if we do stick to the initial deny all, I can peruse Mailman docs. thanks, Rob -- _ Rob Lancefield rlancefield at wesleyan.edu Manager of Museum Information Services / Registrar of Collections Davison Art Center, Wesleyan University www.wesleyan.edu/dac 301 High Street, Middletown CT 06459 USAtel. 860.685.2965 Board of Directors, Museum Computer Network www.mcn.edu The information contained in this electronic mail message (including any attachments) is confidential information that may be covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 USC Sections 2510-2521, intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above, and may be privileged.

MCN: IMLS Study on the Use of Technology in Museums Libraries
I came across this announcement in a recent edition of CAM (California Association of Museums) e-news. Although the study was done in 2004, it looks like it wasn't released until January 2006. * * * IMLS RELEASES STUDY ABOUT THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN MUSEUMS AND LIBRARIES As part of the Institute of Museum and Library Service's (IMLS) mandate to analyze needs and trends of museum and library services, they recently released a 2004 survey on the use of technology and digitization in the nation's libraries and museums. In 2001, IMLS conducted the first-ever study of the status of new technology adoption and digitization in the nation's museums and libraries. This second study seeks to dig deeper and find out more about how and why our cultural institutions use technology and digitize their collections. It explores barriers as well as capacity and planning issues.

MCN CAL SIG: Last minute call for proposals
Greetings all CAL SIG members, With the extended deadline for Conference Proposals we are hoping to inspire some panels or workshops from our regional SIG in the MCN 2006 Conference Host State! The proposal deadline is now FRIDAY, MARCH 10th. If you already have an idea, this is the moment to confer with your colleagues, pull together an abstract, and submit a proposal. In hopes of providing a bit of inspiration, following are a few ideas from a brainstorming session at the CAL SIG Annual Meeting in Boston last fall: -Panel theme that connects with the entertainment industry, for example what can we learn from edutainment? -Steven Spielberg's Shoah Foundation and the project archiving interview of Holocaust survivors -Distance learning projects mentioned in connection with the Museum of Television Radio These ideas are just a place to start! For more information, refer to the Call for Proposals (http://www.mcn.edu/conferences/index.asp?subkey=714) on the MCN website. To submit a proposal, use the convenient online form (http://www.mcn.edu/conferences/index.asp?subkey=906). Let's make the 34th MCN Annual Conference the best ever!
