Re: [MCN-L] IT SIG: IT Managing AV?

[Toye, Vicki]

Here at the National Gallery in DC, we have an AV department of 8 people who do 
everything Bryon listed below, plus full blown audio and video production and 
podcasting, as well as some web design.  We call our department Media 
Productions because we produce as well as design and engineer, plus operate 
theaters and archival film machinery.  We also don't consult with exhibition 
designers, we design AV installations to the requirement of the curator, then 
install and maintain, all in-house.  Our staff is specialized for what is 
needed:  a web designer, two audio engineers, two video engineers, a designer, 
and couple of operators and contract projectionists for archival content.

We don't belong to the IT department: we're under the curatorial executive 
officer because our mission supports the arts side of the organization, but we 
have a great supportive relationship with IT.

When I started at the DAM AV was not in IT, but we have since moved it into IT 
since we share some similar equipment and there are some shared skill sets 
between the two departments.

Our AV department's responsibilities include:
- Presales for external clients hosting an event in a number of spaces 
throughout the museum
- Providing equipment and staff support for external client events
- Providing equipment and staff support for internal (staff, support groups, 
board of directors, etc.) events
- Occasionally they work with external AV companies that are hired to support 
internal and external events
- Service/maintain AV equipment inventory
- Run our 266 person auditorium including projection and control rooms
- Consultant when needed on AV equipment installations in galleries to support 
an exhibition
- Video editing for internal and external clients

We have 1 FT AV Manager and 6 AV on-call techs that work as event support 
demand dictates.

I am happy to discuss further,

Hello all!

So, how many of you have an AV department in your museums?

If you have an AV department, does IT manage it, or is it a separate area?

In either case, what kind of AV services do you have, and how many people are 
in the AV department?

Thanks to everyone.

[MCN-L] Visual Resources Association Foundation Regional Workshop Program--Accepting Host Site Applications

[Betha Whitlow]

 The Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF)
 is pleased to announce that it is accepting host
applications for the VRAF Regional Workshop Program for 2017-2018. Thanks
to the generous support from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, this program
will allow the VRAF to continue to realize its mission to promote
scholarship, research, education, and outreach in the fields of visual
resources and image management.

For the 2017-2018 program, four grants of up to $3000 each are available to
support an instructor stipend and travel expenses, a stipend for the local
organizer, catering, and other minor expenses incurred by the host
institution.  The VRAF will provide significant logistical support,
including locating a qualified instructor and managing registration. With
the VRAF Regional Workshop Grant, host institutions will be able to offer a
workshop without the burden of developing it from within, and provide
valuable programming not only to their local constituents, but to their
broader region. This opportunity is open to Visual Resources Association
(VRA) Chapters, VRA affiliates, related information management
organizations, museums, libraries, and academic institutions. For a
reasonable registration fee, the workshops will provide an immersive
experience on a single topic, framed in a manner that is relevant to image
management professionals, users of cultural heritage information, and the
larger information community.

For the 2017-18 program, applications will be accepted to host one of the
following workshops:


·  Can We Do That?: Intellectual Property Rights and Visual Media

·  Collaborating across the Institution: Creating Professional
Partnerships to Support Cultural  Heritage

·  Documenting Cultural Heritage: Strategies and Spaces for Digital
Capture

·  Exhibit, Instruct, Promote: An Introduction to Omeka for Digital
Scholarship

·  Learning to Look and Looking to Learn: A Workshop on Visual Literacy

·  Managing Digital Content

·  Metadata and Management of Cultural Heritage Digital Media: From
Fundamental to FutureTrends

·  Moving Images: The Basics and Beyond

·  The International Image Interoperability Framework: What is it, and
how can I use it?

 We will also consider applications in which the host site proposes its own
workshop topic. Please review the description of the VRAF Regional Workshop
Program as well as the VRAF Mission Statement prior to confirm that your
proposed workshop fits within both the program’s parameters and the larger
goals of the VRAF.

To conform to the guidelines of our Samuel H. Kress grant, workshops must
be held by June 2018.  For more information about the VRAF Regional
Workshop Program, visit https://vrafoundation.com/regional-workshops/. To
apply, visit https://vrafoundation.com/apply/. If you have additional
questions about the program, please contact VRAF Director Betha Whitlow,
bwhit...@wustl.edu. The deadline for application is August 15, 2017.
