[MCN-L] 3rd party registration tool suggestions

[Christina DePaolo]

Hi MCNers,
Me again. Anyone have recommendations for a third party tool that a museum
could use for  camp registration (including fees)? I am working on
migrating a museum site from Dreamweaver to Drupal, but they need a camp
registration form now.

Anyone know of a good short-term solution?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Kelly,

One thing you might want to consider, particularly in regard to collecting 
digital news content, is the use of PDF/A.  This would be an alternative to the 
use of word for any material copied from the internet.  The Society of American 
Archivists produced a webinar on the use of PDF/A a few years ago and one can 
still view it from this link (for a fee)
http://saa.peachnewmedia.com/store/seminar/seminar.php?seminar=12158

In terms of content distributed through other media outlets, like TV and radio, 
you might be able to ask those stations to send you a copy of their coverage.  
You'd then just need to manage it with the rest of your digital assets.  If you 
expect to be collecting alot of digital media items (even digital media 
artworks), you might want to look into a digital asset management system that 
would support digital preservation (fixity checks, forward migration, etc).

Hope this helps!

[MCN-L] The 2013 PK Policy Symposium

[Holt, Lisa]

Hi Renee:

Can I attend this symposium?   It has to do with copyright issues.

Although I may not get the chance to work with Ron and our copyright
project, I'm being optimistic about it.

Thanks.

[MCN-L] Responsive design examples

[Susan Edwards]

Hey Christina - 
We are currently redesigning our /visit section with responsive design, and 
don't have anything to show yet on www.getty.edu.
But our redesigned blog just launched on Friday - 'reincarnated' as an online 
magazine with responsive design: http://blogs.getty.edu/iris/

I am also very interested to see RWD examples from museums and libraries.
We are using Berkeley's mobile calendar as a model for our RWD calendar: 
events.berkeley.edu/mobile/

And if anyone has any suggestions for RWD prototyping tools, I'd love to see 
them. I am currently using DivShot (divshot.com), which is in Beta and has its, 
um, quirks.

Hello MCN community,
I am looking for examples of museum, library or non-profit websites that
are responsive. I know of a few, but I am looking for more. In the last few
days I have been playing a funny game with my laptop, ipad, and iphone
browsers, to find out if sites are truly responsive.

Maybe we can turn it into a drinking game at the upcoming MW2013.

Please help me if you can. Examples of museum, library, cultural or other
non-profit sites wanted. Your favorite responsive site is fine too.

Thank you very much.
