[MCN-L] Join us for a CollectionSpace webinar!
We are hosting three webinars in three weeks to introduce you to CollectionSpace, the open-source, web-based collections information management system for museums and other collecting institutions. The use of CollectionSpace software will help bring critical and necessary collections and collections information management procedures such as cataloging, location and movement tracking, loans, and media handling into the Web 2.0+ era, and has the potential to redefine the ways in which collections information is captured, managed, preserved, and leveraged. Webinar participants will get an advance look at CollectionSpace, meet our design and development teams, learn about the software's advanced architecture, functionality, and user experience, hear about our production schedule and deployment plans, and learn how to get involved with the project. Each webinar will conclude with a question-and-answer session. Each webinar will be one hour in duration, and will be held twice per day - once to accommodate US/Canadian time zones, and once for European time zones. All webinars will be recorded and available for viewing on the CollectionSpace website. CollectionSpace for Technology Service Providers and Developers October 22, 2009 For: hosted service providers, IT consultants, independent software and web developers, vendors of museum-related software solutions, academic computing professionals, and others wishing to learn about providing consulting services and support around CollectionSpace. CollectionSpace?s robust and flexible technical architecture makes it an ideal offering in a hosted, standalone, or enterprise computing environment, and an effective base line for the development and maintenance of custom solutions for the cultural heritage and academic communities. The webinar will focus on CollectionSpace technical architecture, installation and deployment, supporting software-as-a-service (SaaS) for hosted solutions, system requirements for server and client, and becoming a CollectionSpace service provider. The webinar will be led by the CollectionSpace Technical team. Register for the webinar: 3pm BST or 1pm EDT CollectionSpace for Museum and Academic Technology Professionals October 29, 2009 For: museum-based information technology professionals and academic computing professionals who would like to learn more about deploying and customizing CollectionSpace at their institutions, and those wishing to learn about using CollectionSpace as a platform for development. CollectionSpace is designed to accommodate, empower, and engage museums' in-house IT, Web, and new media staff through the software?s ease of configuration and customization. Institutions adopting CollectionSpace will not merely replace vendor dependence with developer dependence; rather, they will be able to work directly with their colleagues to customize the software for their needs. The webinar will focus on CollectionSpace technical architecture as it supports and facilitates configuration and customization, deployment, web services that support development of research applications, and systems integration. The webinar will be led by the CollectionSpace technical team. Register for the webinar: 3pm GMT or 1pm EDT CollectionSpace for Museum and Cultural Heritage Professionals November 5, 2009 For: museum executive and collections staff, consultants, and anyone interested in previewing the advanced, end-user experience of CollectionSpace. CollectionSpace provides support for the ever-expanding world of information required to describe, interpret, care for, and share our collections. While early collections management systems were little more than electronic representations of paper records, CollectionSpace offers a novel, workflow-centered approach to collections information management. The webinar will focus on the software?s functionality, user interface, and customization capabilities. The webinar will be led by the project?s collections information management and user experience design teams. Register for the webinar: 3pm GMT or 1pm EST CollectionSpace is a project of the Museum of the Moving Image; University of California, Berkeley, Information Services and Technology; University of Cambridge, Centre for Applied Research in Educational Technologies; and the University of Toronto, Adaptive Technology Resource Centre. Generous support for the development of CollectionSpace has been provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. _ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
