Abstract

Museums are under pressure to deliver effective management and presentation of their collections, outreach to their public, cost effective use of all of their resources and the generation of maximum income. This book addresses such topics as what information means in the museum context, who uses it and what they need to do with it, developing a strategy for using information to benefit the museum, making the best use of the knowledge and skills of the museum staff, and acquiring the right mix of technology and managing it to support co-operation between people. Basic principles and practical advice is presented for integrated management of a whole range of information which museums need for productive use of human resources and for choosing and using technology effectively. The needs of small museums are given special attention and case studies show how a range of institutions have responded to the challenge.

Abstract

Hypermedia offers a new paradigm for the design of information systems, yet there are few working applications. The best situation is for a database to hold information and a hypermedia package to provide the interface. Explains why museum information systems are ideal for investigating the augmentation of traditional databases with hypermedia. 2 leading examples in the UK are the Micro Gallery at the National Gallery and the Design Museum public catalogue. Describes a prototype development of an interface for the visiting public to allow access to the museum database. Object records from Leicestershire Museums local collection and the George III collection of early scientific instruments from the Science Museum, London, were used. Object records were stored on an IBM PC in dBase databases. The hypermedia front-end was built using Hypercard on a Macintosh LC computer. Covers system design and evaluation

Abstract

The Micro Gallery is a computerised, interactive, public access information system located in the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery in London. It provides detailed information about the Gallery's collection of paintings in an accessible form, using digitised colour images and touch screen technology. Discusses the evolution of the system, its reception and the projects it has spawned

Abstract

Strategies for sharing, managing and accessing cultural heritage information centred around objects, images and related data are being tested currently through a variety of initiatives and resources. These fall into 3 categories: data sharing projects; image data banks; and rights management. Describes 2 data sharing projects, the Research Libraries Group' REACH and VISIION projects, focusing on core categories, standards and interoperability, metadata, and what might be accomplished through REACH and VISIION
