Dear colleagues,
As our museum moves away from a model where
curatorial staff manage their own storage spaces
to one where Collections Management facilitates
access to storage, we have begun to look about
for an existing work flow application to
integrate with our TMS database. Ideally this
application would facilitate art handling
requests, formalizing the process beyond
email/phone calls/hallway conversations to
provide our curatorial and conservation staff
with a user-friendly solution for their requests.
Specifically we envision staff using the
application to refer to TMS object packages when
making requests for object
movement/installation/mounts/study appointments,
etc. Requests would trigger email(s) to the
appropriate staff and create a secure, manageable
list with deadlines for our chief preparator to
oversee. Does anyone have any recommendations for
an out-of-the-box or home grown system that they
would be willing to share? We would be most grateful!
Best wishes,
Dorothy Dávila
