Thanks Dana, Ben and Marla, This is very helpful. So as I understand it, currently there is not an automated way to export it. It has to be done manually? Is there the ability to create plug ins for the systems? -Chris -Original Message- From: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu

Chris, The plug-in question would be one for Robb at Gallery Systems. The export goes like this: I copy the datafile bring it up in our Pachyderm-ready version of EmbARK. Then I do a file export through an xml template. It's not automated, but it's a lot faster than hand-coding. :) Marla

Chris, They can also create reports that can help you export things in a specific way, Robb has created a number of these for us here at our gallery. I think he's your best bet. Email: embarksupport at GALLERYSYSTEMS.COM or call (510) 652-8950 x233 He has an assistant as well that you may be

[MCN-L] inventory photos or no?

Hi all: In the interest of streamlining our collections inventory (down from 3-4 years to 6 months - EEK!), we're cutting back on taking more formal studio shots of objects and simply doing brief snapshots. We're also just about to release our database online, and we only have about 2000

Colleagues, Within the next few months, we hope to be able to select photo-management software from one of several vendors we are considering. Three of our major criteria wishes for this software are a) the ability to add metadata in batches, b) batch conversion of file formats and c) the

Hi Peter, The digitization unit of the University of Virginia special collections library uses Microsoft Expression Media, formerly known as iView, to manage their images. You can record metadata about each item. The great thing about this software is you can export to iView's proprietary XML

[MCN-L] inventory photos or no?

Perian, We recently implemented a new inventory system at the Ohio Historical Society as well. We have 58 sites throughout the state that were scheduled to be inventoried over the next ten years. Instead, we are now doing 18 sites this year alone. Needless to say, we have done away with

[MCN-L] inventory photos or no?

Dear Perian: Good question. At Cleveland our philosophy, for the past decade, has been that most people would prefer to see an image than no image, but it takes a long time to photograph 30,000 objects in the studio. So if we do not have an approved studio image, but we do have an image, we

[MCN-L] Vmware Lic's

Has anyone had any luck getting VMWare to extend its academic licensing/pricing to your museum (for those of you that aren't university supported)? I don't think they even have charity/non-profit licensing. Thanks, Matt - Matthew Stevens Adventure Science Center 800 Fort Negley Blvd
