Hello all, The Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) is pleased to announce the publication of two new resources developed with the Balboa Park Online Collaborative. Guidelines for choosing a collections management system and the Collections management system criteria checklist (CMSCC) assist heritage institutions in selecting a new collections management system (CMS).
The Guidelines for choosing a collections management system resource includes: · a list of recommended steps that institutions can take when selecting a CMS · an institutional questionnaire to help specify needs · a vendor questionnaire to identify the criteria that they meet The CMSCC has been updated and is partially aligned with Spectrum. It includes an abridged list intended for institutions with less complex information management needs. Both resources provide a starting point for any institution going through a CMS selection process. To access the resources, visit the following web pages: https://www.canada.ca/en/heritage-information-network/services/collections-management-systems/guidelines-choose-cms.html https://www.canada.ca/en/heritage-information-network/services/collections-management-systems/software-criteria-checklist.html We welcome your feedback!
