[MCN-L] Recommendations for document scanners w/ OCR?

[Rich Cherry]

I would recommend looking at rapid capture using a high end digital camera
and stand... we used a Canon 5D as noted here:
http://www.slideshare.net/aclavatelli/balboa-park-commons-a  The speed of
these rigs out performs the flatbeds and thus reduces costs.

Omni page is one of the better consumer OCR packages but in general OCR has
improved so much even the built in tools in adobe acrobat work pretty
good.  A lot of flatbeds come with a lite version of Omni Page but they
wont have all the workflow options.

Glad to help.  Bluecoat has a caching product as well... but I do not have
experience with it: http://www.bluecoat.com/products/cacheflow

[MCN-L] What is it like to connect to museum Wi-Fi on a

[Rich Cherry]

Bandwidth for WiFi is tricky as there are 2 components: the WiFi itself and
then the connection speed to the resources the WiFi user is using.

The WiFi itself:
Many people dont realize that WiFi behaves differently than a regular
Ethernet network.  Without getting to technical WiFi divides the number of
users by available bandwidth where Ethernet shares the total bandwidth as
its used.  For example if your WiFi is 802.11g you have a theoretical limit
of  54 Mbit/s.  Assuming that is real and there are no other limitations
(ie you have perfect professional wifi equipment operating in a perfect
world with no interference) 22 users would each get~ 2 Mbit/s of that
bandwidth. More users less bandwidth. Note if you dont have pro equipment
its its unlikely that you could get that many people on a single access
point.  Also note that many pro wifi access points have more than one
radio.  I have a preference for Ruckus Wireless equipment and those have 2
to 4 radios in each access point and claim to accommodate 200-400 users
(something I personally take with a grain of salt).

The connection speed of the network:
Overall it really depends on what types of uses your visitors will have,
how many they are and what kind of infrastructure you can use to mitigate
speed issues.  With new equipment you would at least have a 100 MBit/s and
likely a 1000 MBit/s connection from your wireless access point to the
network.  If some or all of the resources that the public is after is local
to that network you may not need a super fast public internet connection.
 Making these resources local could be as easy as using a caching server or
appliance... ( I have used http://www.appliansys.com/cachebox/ with
success) or it could be that you have some sophistication built into the
app you supply to the public so that it knows to try a local source before
using the internet.  I doubt if you will really know use until you test at
a real event but as a comparison when I run conference WiFi for Museums and
the Web we have ~500 to 650 people @peak use using about 50 MBit/s of
bandwidth... with a cache appliance this drops to about 30 MBit/s.  Note
that most people also want to access twitter,Facebook and other social
media as well as email and these are not cached services for the most part.

Hope this helps.

[MCN-L] email archiving

[Rich Cherry]

Amalyah,

As you mentioned in your email the Email Archiving Deep Dive at Museums and
the Web is today and I am fortunate to be in a room full of really smart
people from organizations including Stanford, Baltimore Museum of Art, IBM,
Wesleyan University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
Guggenheim, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Yale, The Noguchi Museum,
Smithsonian, The Frick, Cleveland Art Museum, O?Keeffe Museum, The Getty,
Harvard, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and The Minneapolis Museum of
Art.

>From what I can tell these archivists, technologists and arts
administrators who think email archiving is a critically important thing to
do and who will be working on formulating solutions to this problem.

You can follow the conversation on Twitter #mw2014 #DEEPDIVE and since we
will be publishing the results of our working groups over the summer stay
tuned for more information.

I would love some of the others in attendance to comment their views.

Rich

[MCN-L] Museums and the Web 2014 Baltimore April 2-5, 2014 Early Registration Open

[Rich Cherry]

Join us in Baltimore for the 18th Museums and the Web conference: April
2-5, 2014.

As the largest international conference devoted to the exploration of art,
science, natural and cultural heritage online, Museums and the Web is the
must attend event for more than 600 museum professionals from more than 40
countries.

Join educators, curators, librarians, designers, managers, directors,
scholars, consultants, programmers, analysts, and developers from museums,
galleries, libraries, science centers, and the professionals, companies,
foundations and governments that support them. See the list of institutions
that were represented last year at MW2013 for a sense of the diversity of
this fun, creative and enthusiastic group (
http://mw2013.museumsandtheweb.com/attendees/).

Early bird rates apply through December 31st, 2013 when you register for
Museums and the Web 2014 http://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/registration/

Exhibitors looking to reach museum professionals are welcome to reserve a
space in the exhibit hall (
http://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/exhibitor-registration/), and also
propose an Exhibitor Briefing session (
http://mwa2013.museumsandtheweb.com/call-for-proposals/).

The call for Demonstrations and Lightning Talks is still open through Dec
31 (http://mwa2013.museumsandtheweb.com/call-for-proposals/).

(The call closed Sept 30th for Papers, How-to Sessions, Professional Forums
and Workshops)

The Draft Program is online here:
http://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/program/

All MW2014 Sessions will be held at Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel
located at 202 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202 USA. The hotel
overlooks downtown Baltimore?s famous Inner Harbor and is convenient to
great dining, shopping, and museums.

MW2014 has negotiated a special rate: Single or Double: $199/night:
http://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/local-information/

Prior to the conference, there are full-day and half-day workshops and a
day of pre-conference tours.

Social events include receptions each evening, and lots of refreshment
breaks provide plenty of time to meet and talk with colleagues.

We?re looking forward to seeing you in Baltimore: April 2-5, 2014!

[MCN-L] Embedding LCD screens in new walls?

[Rich Cherry]

I would go for an inwall mount like this:
http://www.mountsdirect.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_17&products_id=632&osCsid=bf329e9a14afd1e965d7fd97102defef

Alos is this for a long term exhibit or a 3-4 month one?  I  would
obviously be more concerned on a long one.

[MCN-L] Call For Proposals Museums and the Web Asia 2013

[Rich Cherry]

Dear Colleague,

We are delighted to announce that we have launched the *Museums and the Web
Asia 2013* website and opened the call for proposals for our 2nd Hong Kong
conference which will be held Dec 9-12, 2013 at the Sheraton Hong Kong
Hotel and Towers! http://mwa2013.museumsandtheweb.com

*You can submit a proposal here:*
http://mwa2013.museumsandtheweb.com/submit-proposal/

*There are many ways to participate in Museums and the Web Asia:*

*Deadline 30 June*:

   - *Offer a Pre-conference Workshop*: Are you an expert in your field?
   Share your expertise by leading a half-day or full-day pre-conference
   workshop! Workshops are held the day before the conference begins and
   workshop leaders are compensated for their teaching. No written paper is
   required.
   - *Present a Formal Paper*: Share your leading work in the field through
   a written paper (required, up to 5,000 words) and an oral presentation in a
   conference session (approx. 20 min. plus discussion). All formal papers are
   published on the Museums and the Web site, and selected papers are
   published in the eBook and printed proceedings of the conference.
   - *Teach a How-to Session* (a one-hour workshop): You have one hour to
   demonstrate and teach a practical skill or best practices for a museum
   topic. A written version of your session (required, up to 2,500 words) will
   be published on the Museums and the Web site to serve as an on-going
   reference both for attendees of your session and others.


*Deadline 31 July:*

   - *Demonstrate* your project and explain the designs and the decisions
   that went into it to colleagues in an exhibit-booth setting. Demonstrations
   are only open to museum professionals and projects created in a non-profit
   environment. Commercial organizations are invited to demonstrate their
   products and projects in Exhibitor Insights.
   - Give a Lightning Talk, Pecha Kucha-style, in a 1.5 hour session that
   includes 6 lightning talks of 7 minutes each plus plenty of time for
   questions and discussion. Slides and recordings of the lightning talks will
   be published online, and presenters are invited to blog about their topics
   (up to 1,000 words) on the MWA site.


*Deadline 31 October:*

   - Exhibit your commercial products and services in the Exhibit Hall (we
   have a very limited amount of slots for this and space will be assigned
   first come first serve) and as an exhibitor and vendor to museums, share
   your Exhibitor Insights on recent projects, new commercial products and
   best practices learned from working with organizations across the museum
   field and beyond. We are looking for engaging and innovative formats for
   the Exhibitor Insights, including ?pechu kucha? style ?parades? (see, for
   example, the MW2013 Mobile Parade), short workshops, and expert panels:
   send us suggestions for your presentation!


*During the Conference:*

   - Participate in a ?Birds of a Feather? round-table: lead the discussion
   or dip into several while enjoying breakfast with colleagues. Topics are
   proposed by participants during the MWA conference in the run-up to the
   breakfast.
   - Be there: the best part of MWA is always meeting informally with some
   of the most creative and innovative museum professionals from around the
   world and enjoying the warmth and generosity of this community. Join us!


*Local tours? Performances? Hack-a-thons? Maker Faires? Other interactions
or services? *Propose any other format of participation + explain how it
works. We?re open to new ideas.

Submit your proposal here:
http://mwa2013.museumsandtheweb.com/submit-proposal/

Please help us spread the word and help us recruit the best presenters and
projects in Asia. We'll be adding more sections to the website over time,
and welcome any suggestions or questions you have that might help us
improve the information online as we build it out.

Many thanks for your help! We look forward to seeing you in Hong Kong!

Hello Colleagues,

We will be having a community-curated exhibition next year to celebrate our

The top 25 objects will then be featured in this final exhibition. We will have

Does anyone know of a web-based application out there that does this and is

option, but I am looking for others for comparison.

Thank you in advance for your information.

[MCN-L] OPAC / Collections Management web integration examples

[Rich Cherry]

All,

I am looking for some deployed examples of OPAC / Collections Management
System (CMS) integration where via the web portal for the CMS I can look at
a collection object, click through to bibliographic information and then
from the bibliographic record click through to the OPAC.
 Bonus example would be an OPAC where the MARC record for a catalog
contains links to the collection objects in the catalog.  I am not looking
for examples of CMS's being used like an OPAC or OPACs full of collection
objects.

Thanks in advance,

Rich

[MCN-L] Off-line data storage issues

[Rich Cherry]

Amazon Glacier uses Amazon S3 which is designed for 99.9%
durability and 99.99% availability.. moving data in is free
but retrieval can cost you.  S3 is a great place for reliable storage but
under normal S3 rates your 12 TB would cost $1320 per month but with the
new Glacier pricing it would cost $120 per month.

[MCN-L] Tracking Green Initiatives

Subject: [MCN-L] Tracking Green Initiatives

Our organization is in the process of creating a "culture of
conservation" within our office.  We are looking for a way to track our
green initiatives such as having a paper-less meeting, turning off the
lights in break/conference rooms when not in use, setting
sleep/hibernate features on PC's, etc.  Has anyone used or created such
a portal for tracking these things?

 

Carbon Rally is the closest thing I could find so far:

http://www.carbonrally.com  

 

If you click on Challenges, then arrange by school or office, there are
a few neat ideas.  I'm looking for something like this that is geared
towards business/organizational initiatives.

 

Thanks,
Matt

[MCN-L] Cornell University computer scientists analyze nearly 35 million Flickr photos, generate geo located statistics on the world's most photographed cities and landmarks

[Rich Cherry]

Cornell University computer scientists used a supercomputer at the Cornell 
Center for Advanced Computing to download and analyze nearly 35 million Flickr 
photos taken by over 300,000 photographers from around the globe. Their main 
goal was to develop new methods to automatically organize and label large-scale 
collections of digital data. A secondary result of the research was the 
generation of statistics on the world's most photographed cities and landmarks, 
gleaned from the analysis of the multi-terabyte photo collection:
* The top 25 most photographed cities in the Flickr data are: (1) New York City 
(2) London (3) San Francisco (4) Paris (5) Los Angeles (6) Chicago (7) 
Washington, DC (8) Seattle (9) Rome (10) Amsterdam (11) Boston (12) Barcelona 
(13) San Diego (14) Berlin (15) Las Vegas (16) Florence (17) Toronto (18) Milan 
(19) Vancouver (20) Madrid (21) Venice (22) Philadelphia (23) Austin (24) 
Dublin (25) Portland.
* The top seven most photographed landmarks are: (1) Eiffel Tower - Paris (2) 
Trafalgar Square - London (3) Tate Modern museum - London (4) Big Ben - London 
(5) Notre Dame - Paris (6) The Eye - London (7) Empire State Building - New 
York City.
The study also identified the seven most photographed landmarks in each of the 
top 25 cities. Most of these landmarks are well-known tourist attractions, but 
some surprising results emerged. For example, one striking result in the Flickr 
data is that the Apple Store in midtown Manhattan is the 5th-most photographed 
place in New York City - and, in fact, the 28th-most photographed place in the 
world.

[MCN-L] Creating maquettes

[Rich Cherry]

I am not an expert in this and if I understand you correctly, the basics are 
that you would need to have a 3d scan done of the object... small objects can 
be done with a scanner like this: https://www.nextengine.com/indexSecure.htm or 
DIY like this http://www.david-laserscanner.com/ 

And then you would need to have it printed in 3d (also called rapid 
prototyping) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing 

The problem will be cost.

My suggestion is that you partner with a university that has or has access to a 
3d scanner and 3d printer... http://www.dtc.umn.edu/~baoquan/scan.html might be 
an option or this local company: http://www.dimensionprinting.com/

Subject: [MCN-L] Creating maquettes

Hello,

I have created scaled maquettes of paintings in Photoshop by simply resizing
the image, but we?re planning for an exhibition featuring very small and/or
3D objects.  Can anyone offer insights about how to go about creating
maquettes of objects that are not 2D square/rectangular?  Are there any open
source software programs that may be helpful?

I am not an IT professional, so any input would be much appreciated.

Regards,

[MCN-L] Going Mobile in San Diego: Spotlight Mobile Travel Scholarship awardees

[Rich Cherry]

MCN'rs,

We would like to thank everyone for their submissions to the Spotlight Mobile 
Travel Scholarship. After much consideration we have selected our awardees:

Eileen Gillette of the University of British Columbia
Christian Adame of the Crocker Art Museum

It was clear that the recipients spent a good deal of time considering the 
needs of their visitors and have thought about how to accomplish their goals. 
Their projects address clear needs within the community or introduce new ideas 
that help visitors interact directly with the museum; leaving feedback or 
augmenting exhibits. BPOC and Spotlight Mobile is  very excited to award this 
travel scholarship in hopes they can share their ideas with the community at 
large and look forward to the seeing how these projects develop.

Congratulations to the awardees.

Rich

I would like to ask your suggestions for donor databases. 

We need to manage all aspects of contributions, from recording basic data,
and individual donor history/potential prospect information, to the ability
to generate reports/accounting, and, if possible, link to our website so
donations can be received via the website, along with generating
acknowledgement letters.

Thank you.

In this day and age it could be very important to have a terms of use agreement 
that people have to accept before they can use your service.

Last month we had a case here locally where a man was going to motels and using 
their wi-fi to download child pornography. Obviously the terms of use did not 
stop him, but the motels could say that they did not allow this and contact the 
police.

Also, how much bandwidth will you allot to this, if iphone and android phone 
users start using your wi-fi to make calls or run apps then that decreases the 
bandwidth available for other visitors and possibly staff. Also how long will 
people be able to use your service?

I think it is a great program, but would definitely recommend working with 
someone about an agreement.

[MCN-L] Zip Code Statistics

[Rich Cherry]

Chris,

I have used Microsoft MapPoint... It imports CSV, XLS and can connect to SQL 
databases. So while it works pretty good for the mapping part, I found is that 
Marketing usually has a hard time acting on that kind of data.  It ends up 
being a neat visualization with little effective ROI.  Also be careful that the 
process allows for the users not to give a zip as admissions staff will make up 
data if there is no skip button when a patron refuses... they punch in their 
own zip or the museums to avoid arguing with the patron.

Hello All,

We are thinking about asking our visitors for their zip code when they 
enter our museum.  We know that many other museums do this as well.  We 
are curious as to the best way to use the collected data though.

I'm curious if there is a type of "zip code stats" type of program or 
website, that allows you to import a text file (.csv or other), and then 
analyzes the zip codes and shows you graphs / maps / lists of where your 
visitors come from.  Does anyone know of something like this?

How do you all interpret your zip code data once it has been collected?

Thanks,
Chris

[MCN-L] Mac vs. PC

[Rich Cherry]

Drury,

Like many technology questions this has very little to do with the technology 
(although many will claim otherwise), it has to do with the religion the IT 
department practices.  If an IT department has a strong MAC person then it's 
fairly easy to integrate and use without issues, if the IT department is 
ambivalent or hostile to MAC then it depends on the status of the requester in 
the institution on how good they are supported (sometimes outside support is 
contracted).  So when I was CIO in a museum with no MAC person we resisted, 
when I was at a museum where I could hire a great MAC support person we 
supported and expanded it and our users benefited from the diversity.  

Rich

Help!  The Museum of the Confederacy is seeking advice from fellow
museum professionals.

We are starting a digitization project, and are beginning by scanning
over 6000 original photographs we have in our collection.  We are
looking at buying a 24" iMac, but are now addressing concerns about
whether Mac software will be compatible with the museum's PC-based
server, and whether we will be able to integrate Mac image files with
our PC-based Collections databases.  We plan to store the images on an
external hard drive as well, but again are wondering how difficult it
will be to retrieve the images and use them on PC software.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot, and sorry if this question is a repeat of one that has
been asked of the listserv a million times before.

I could do this with a mac mini..  I guess it would have to be near the
screen.  Was this put on a touch screen?

I am hoping to have something that was remote to a screen on the wall
(without running cords). But I might now be able to do this.

[MCN-L] CMS - Drupal users?

[Rich Cherry]

Anne,

The Balboa Park Online Collaborative has recently selected Drupal as the CMS 
platform it will be developing on for its 17 members.  In part, we selected 
this system because of its increasing popularity within the wider museum 
community as well as a strong local Drupal community.  A quick search indicates 
a local group in Ottawa: http://groups.drupal.org/ottawa ... we have engaged 
our local community and have started hosting the San Diego Drupal User Group 
meeting and have had lots of interest from that community, including offers to 
volunteer.  

We currently have 4 sites queued up for development in the next few months and 
we will be releasing a few pieces to the community over the next 6 months that 
may be of interest to you:

.   A Drupal-based framework for a museum website calendaring system that 
allows the aggregation of multi-institution event- and program-based calendar 
items as well the importation of external calendar items into individual site 
calendars.
.   A museum-focused Drupal-based system for the registration of event, 
class and program attendees.

Since we have a number of different museums sites that we are working on 
including a Natural History Museum I think some of these might be very useful 
for you.

[MCN-L] installing cell and wi-fi coverge

John,

We rolled it out at the Skirball Cultural Center last year for our public and 
rental spaces.  We got some good info from our non-profit CDW rep who set up 
some calls with their engineers to go over the options and in and outs.  We 
were looking for systems that could support 100+ connections for conference 
use.  They are also familiar with any non-profit deals that might be out there.

Anyone know if it's possible to set the time zone on your FB Page so  
that your events don't expire before they actually happen? A Page I  
set up for a museum client is apparently not set to Pacific time, and  
as there is no personal profile associated with the Page, it appears
