[NHCOLL-L:5960] Invitation to Participate in a CollectionSpace Survey

[Angela Spinazze]

Hello NHCOLL-L colleagues,

We would like to ask for your assistance in completing a very brief survey about your professional and organizational needs around collection management systems. The survey will require approximately 10 minutes of your time. 

You will find the survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/collectionsmgmt

Please help us by responding by close of business Friday, April 20th.  

CollectionSpace is a collaborative effort driven by museum and higher education professionals. Our goals are two-fold: 1. Work together as a  community to develop a well designed, cost effective, high quality software application that museums and collections-holding organizations can use to manage their collections and share information about those collections online and 2. Re-define the ways in which collections information is collected, managed, preserved, leveraged, and published.  CollectionSpace is in the midst of a strategic planning process that will result in a business model and plan that will inform how the effort moves away from being a project and into becoming an organization during 2012.  We want to hear directly from the broadest possible museum and collections-holding organization communities about your needs to inform our modeling work for all facets of the organization-to-come. 

CollectionSpace is led by the Museum of the Moving Image, with partners University of California, Berkeley, Information Services and Technology and University of Cambridge, Center for Applied Research in Educational Technologies. Additional development resources are provided by OCAD University, The Fluid Project. Our dedicated early adopter community includes: Museum of the Moving Image; Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, The University and Jepson Herbaria, and History of Art Visual Resources Collection all on the campus of University of California, Berkeley; Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark), and Walker Art Center. CollectionSpace is made possible by the visionary support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.  www.collectionspace.org

We will share consolidated findings about collections management needs and priorities with all respondents in the coming months.

Thank you for your time and attention,
