[MCN-L] Collections Management Study

[Nik Honeysett]

Dear MCNers,

I’m looking to source your wisdom, advice and input.

You may have seen the recent press release from LYRASIS (bit.ly/lyrs-cms) 
regarding their award from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to study collections 
technology in museums. BPOC will be partnering with Ithaka S+R to investigate 
the technology landscape and evolving tactics and strategy around collections 
management. As institutions become more digitally savvy and our audience's 
expectations of access and interaction with our collections changes, are our 
collections management technologies appropriately supporting us or keeping pace?

The study will use both surveys and interviews to garner a field-wide 
understanding of how scope and requirements for collections management and 
access have or are changing. I’m hoping you will participate.

If you have any thoughts, advice or wisdom of how these requirements are 
changing we’d be really interested to hear them, either directly to me or 
through the listserv. What are the most burning topics to pursue? What are the 
questions we should be answering? Where are we succeeding and where are we 
failing? Do you have war stories or success stories that you can share?

When we have our survey ready, I’ll be sending it out to this list and hoping 
that you’ll participate. If you'd be willing to participate in a more in-depth 
discussion, please let me know too.

Thank you in advance.
