Re: [MCN-L] Estimating Website Redesign Costs

2015-07-17 Thread Morgan Holzer 
Are you planning on doing this in-house? Or are you looking to set up an
RFP to hire a firm?

 Hello all,

 Apologies for cross postings between MCN (LinkedIn Group), MW (LinkedIn)
 and the MCN - Listserv.

 I've recently started a new position at the Cantor Art Center at Stanford
 University and my first big task is managing a redesign of the website.
 I've already done some online research and talked to some incredibly
 knowledgable people, but I'm still curious about how museums approach the
 cost estimation for a website redesign?

 The new site will:
 - Be responsive for desktop and mobile devices
 - Be Drupal based
 - Probably need about 5-8 templates designed
 - Better integrate Gallery Systems Web Kiosk
 - Integrate with Stanford's gift/donation system
 - Integrate an events management system such as EventBrite or 25 Live

 Any real world figures would be very helpful if you are at liberty to
 share privately. Also, how long the redesign process took from start to
 finish.

 I'd love to hear your stories.

 Thanks in advance!

Re: [MCN-L] hit me with your tech-related acronyms!

Ooh I love picnic and hippo! In the spirit of Simon's squirrel nutkin, we give 
things the INATOR treatment. So when we fixed our locations section, we 
called it the Locinator. And the research upgrade was the Researchinator. 

 We backronymed this to mean It's Now A Totally Operational Resource.

[MCN-L] MCN annual conference proceedings

2014-01-08 Thread Morgan Holzer 
Stephen, (and everyone else, hello!),

MCN 2013 was fully recorded, some with video and the rest with audio.
Almost all talks are currently on our youtube channel, with the rest being
processed. http://www.youtube.com/user/museumcn

 there is *never* a dumb question !

 Unfortunately, MCN does not archive proceedings (few presenters in fact
 write a paper). The best you can do is look at the MCN conference site and
 see the program abstracts http://wired.ivvy.com/event/MCN13/agenda

 if a presentation looks interesting, you may want to check their SlideShare
 / professional page for more information.

 This is a great opportunity to pose the question: what are the benefits /
 challenges of documenting conferences? as a historian I am all for it !
 second question: what are the most efficient documentation forms?

 idea: could MCN organizers in Dallas recruit a few bloggers?

[MCN-L] Rapid Prototyping System

2013-10-03 Thread Morgan Holzer 
Wondering if anyone is using something like Twitter Bootstrap to do rapid
prototyping? How are you using it?

I ask because we are attempting to build our own version here at NYPL and
are receiving a little push-back from above. If you do rapid prototyping,
how did you get institutional buy-in?

Thanks in advance!

[MCN-L] Online vs physical visits

2013-08-01 Thread Morgan Holzer 
Bernard,

For me, (someone whose job relies heavily on statistics and user research),
this question actually simply comes down to your mission statement. I
looked your's up (
http://www.otagomuseum.govt.nz/about-us/corporate-information/) and in
part, it says:

Mission: To inspire and enrich our communities, and enhance understanding
of the world through our collection, our people and the stories we share...
Expanding joy: Reaching out to our communities and enabling access for all.

I'd wager that the vast majority of museum mission statements include
something about education/outreach/access in regards to collections, and do
not actually contain any mention of getting people in the door. Not putting
up online collections/exhibitions is actually contrary to your stated goals
of enabling access for all, and specifically targeting access for those
who can attend.

Of course, metrics and research help bolster the argument, but I think
mission-driven arguments are always a good place to start.

~Morgan

 I really appreciated Bruce Wyman and Nick Poole's responses to the

 still a question museum technologists face, but more importantly I agree we
 need to do better at measuring ROI - though I would add, on all platforms
 museums use, not just digital ones! Easier said than done, of course.

 Is anyone aggregating the links and thoughts provided in these important
 emails to the listserv in a blog post or other? If not, I'd be happy to
 start a post on the Musematic blog (or other recommended site) as I'm sure
 many others have useful references and past posts to add as well.
