[Nhcoll-l] Collections Management Study - potential scam?

Tue Nov 28 12:31:13 EST 2017

I tried Google, but nothing it came up with looked like a likely candidate, since I had never heard of BPOC. Beef Promotion Operating Committee? Bowen Park Opera Company?

Balboa Park is not spelled out anywhere in the original posting. I would have been more enlightened if I had followed the lyrasis link, but was scared off by the warning.

It sounds like a great initiative. I look forward to seeing the results.

Thanks,

Janet

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

You may have seen the recent press release from LYRASIS ( <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_lyrs-2Dcms&d=DwMFaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=BPz-3KgexVRVoRjR92uayKYAVE_6_NtPM7HpwfvXJEo&m=O9oUqQuWqd11K-YmkGOybvD5d7HmsMNcObi9WCU4w3g&s=ISj0VAawhdKeyccD6_uU-xjMva21sch6tK7puqFcapc&e=> 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.
