I am writing an article on difficult provisions in a license
agreement. By that, I mean a term or condition which is either difficult to

I've been thinking all along that digital assets should be treated similarly to

Have any of the institutions who have gone down the DAMS road also
succeeded in developing policies for deciding which assets to retain?
The discussions we have had here leave our heads spinning wondering who
would make these decisions and with what criteria. Like everyone else,
we have thousands o
Hello all,
I work in a new project of cultural museum. I'm in charge of the database.
I was wondering if we had to take high resolution images of all the
objects of our collection or only select some of them that are really
important and let the others in low resolution, in order to create a

Here at the Frick Collection I have just upgraded our Intranet using

It is a great place to link internal stuff: useful documents relating to

Hi all,
I'm not sure what my availability is going to be this fall, but I
thought I'd try to help facilitate a few panels at the early stages.
I had a number of different replies both on and off list about
requirements for calendar systems from our conversation last month.
Is there interest
We are discussing implementing an Intranet to improve staff communication. I
would be interested to finding out what other museums have done along this line
and how they feel they have improved staff communication.

Do you know a student working on museum education-related research?
To celebrate March Break, MUSEUM EDUCATION MONITOR (MEM), the monthly

Greetings,
The Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia is undergoing
an enormous digitization process of their 35,000 ethnographic objects for the

I agree with Ari. As an image which will only be used as a visual guide to the

planning on sharing images with researchers or putting them on the web, it may
be more time/cost effective to photograph them at high enough reso
