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

For the first time, under the leadership of the Visual Resources Association, a cross section of five visual and cultural heritage experts, along with scores of reviewers from varied institutions, have created a new data content standard focused on cultural materials. This cutting-edge reference offers practical resources for cataloging and flexibility to meet the needs of a wide range of institutions - from libraries to museums to archives to visual collections. Consistently following these guidelines for selecting, ordering, and formatting data used to populate metadata elements in cultural materials' catalog records: promotes good descriptive cataloging and reduces redundancy; builds a foundation of shared documentation; creates data sharing opportunities; and, complements existing standards

Footnote

Rez. in: KO 34(2007) no.4, S. 264-265 (L.C. Howarth): "At a time when cataloguing code revision is continuing apace with the consolidation of the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD), the drafting of RDA: Resource Description and Access, and the development of common principles for an international cataloguing code (International Meeting of Experts on an International Cataloguing Code [IME ICC]), the publication of a guide for cataloguing cultural objects is timely and purposeful. Compiling this data content standard on behalf of the Visual Resources Association, the five editors - with oversight from an advisory board - have divided the guide into three parts. Following a brief introduction outlining the purpose, intended audience, and scope and methodology for the publication, Part One, General Guidelines, explains both what the Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO) guide is "a broad document that includes rules for formatting data, suggestions for required information, controlled vocabulary requirements, and display issues" (p. I) and is not "not a metadata element set per se" (p. 1). Part Two, Elements, is further divided into nine chapters dealing with one or more metadata elements, and describing the relationships between and among each element. Part Three, Authorities, discusses what elements to include in building authority records. A Selected Bibliography, Glossary, and Index, respectively, round out the guide.
As the editors note in their introduction, "Standards that guide data structure, data values, and data content form the basis for a set of tools that can lead to good descriptive cataloging, consistent documentation, shared records, and increased end-user access" (p. xi). The VRA Core Categories, for example, represent a set of metadata elements expressed within an XML structure (data structure). Likewise, the Art Architecture Thesaurus contains sets of terms and relationships, or defined data values. While much effort has been expended on developing both data structures and values, the editors argue, the third leg of the stool, data content, has received less attention. Unlike the library community with its Anglo-American Cataloging Rules [sic though RDA is referenced in the Selected Bibliography], or its archival equivalent, Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS), those in the domain of cultural heritage responsible for describing and documenting works of art, architecture, cultural artifacts, and their respective images, have not had the benefit of such data content standards. CCO is intended to address (or redress) that gap, emphasizing the exercise of good judgment and cataloguer discretion over the application of "rigid rules" [p. xii], and building on existing standards. ... Overall, Cataloging Cultural Objects with its attending guidelines for descriptive metadata and authority control for "one-of-a-kind cultural objects" should merit a place among the "well-established" data content standards of the library and archival communities that CCO references with obvious regard."

Abstract

Die Dokumentationsabteilung im Institut für Museumskunde der Staatlichen Museen Preußischer Kulturbesitz (IfM) hat die Aufgabe, bundesweit Museen und museale Einrichtungen bei der Einführung der Informationstechnik mit Rat und Tat zu unterstützen. Hierbei arbeitet sie mit dem Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum für Informationstechnik Berlin (ZIB) zusammen. Diese Aktivitäten liegen im Bereich einer professionell durchgeführten Rationalisierung; Computerisierung ist nicht Selbstzweck, sondern eine Möglichkeit, ohnehin durchzuführende Arbeiten in puncto Zeit und Kosten effizienter zu gestalten bzw. Dinge durchzuführen, für die man beim Einsatz konventioneller Methoden weder die Zeit noch das Geld hätte. Mit der Vermittlung der hierfür notwendigen Kenntnisse und Fertigkeiten ist ein kleines Institut wie das IfM wegen des rapide ansteigenden Beratungsbedarfs der Museen heute noch weit überfordert. Wir konzentrieren daher unsere Aktivitäten auf eine Zusammenarbeit mit den für die Museumsbetreuung zuständigen Einrichtungen in den Bundesländern. Wir haben die Hoffnung, daß mehr und mehr Bundesländer für diese Aufgabe eigene Dienstleistungsangebote entwickeln werden. Bevor das erreicht ist, versucht das HM interessierten Museen zumindest eine "Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe" anzubieten; auch wenn dieses oder jenes Bundesland noch nicht in der Lage ist, seine Museen auf diesem Gebiet professionell zu beraten, soll es einzelnen Museen zumindest erleichtert werden, sich hier selber schlau zu machen. Zum Inhalt: Zur Zeit der Großrechner waren sich noch alle Beteiligten darüber einig, daß man für den Einsatz der Informationstechnik professioneller Hilfe bedarf. Man war bereit, sich den Anforderungen der Maschine anzupassen, man versuchte, sich "computergerecht" zu verhalten. Die Einführung leicht zu bedienender und leistungsstarker Computer im Bürobereich hat diese Arbeitsbedingungen aber grundlegend verändert. Auch Leute, die von Computer noch nichts verstehen, können heute in wenigen Tagen lernen, mit Programmen für "Textverarbeitung" ganz selbstverständlich umzugehen. Sie erwarten daher, daß das bei einem Einsatz des Computers für die Inventarisierung genauso problemlos sei. Von einer solchen Benutzerfreundlichkeit der Programme sind wir im deutschen Museumswesen aber noch weit entfernt. Das hat einen einfachen Grund: In die eben erwähnten einfach zu handhabenden Programme wurde inzwischen hunderte oder gar tausende von "Mannjahren" investiert; ein erheblicher Teil dieser Mittel diente dazu, den Computer den spezifischen Bedürfnissen bestimmter Arbeitsplätze anzupassen, bzw. die daran arbeitenden Mitarbeiter auszubilden. Bis das auch für das Museum gilt, wird wohl noch einige Zeit vergehen; dieser Markt ist zu klein, als daß sich solche Investitionen auf rein kommerzieller Basis kurzfristig auszahlen könnten. Das Institut für Museumskunde versucht hier Hilfestellung zu geben. Das vorliegende Heft 33 der "Materialien" ist aus Beratungen und Kursen hervorgegangen. Es versucht, die für die Einführung der Informationstechnik im Museum unabdingbaren grundlegenden Computerkenntnisse für Museumsleute in Form eines Lern- und Lesebuchs zu vermitteln. Es schließt damit an Heft 30 (Jane Sunderland und Leonore Sarasan, Was muß man alles tun, um den Computer im Museum erfolgreich einzusetzen?) direkt an und soll zusammen mit ihm benutzt werden.
