Greetings TMS Users -

I am gathering information about museum standards for the management of
digital images, and also - more specifically - developing standards for
our use of the TMS Media module here at the Guggenheim. I would like to
present some information to my staff in our next meeting about what
other museums are doing. I'd be interested in both TMS-specific
standards and procedures, as well as in more general practices for
managing digital media. I'll compile and post any information I gather
(unless you ask me not to include your response). 

Some questions would be:
*       Do you have a standard image size that you use with TMS? 
*       How much metadata do you include with your TMS Media records? 
*       Do you use the TMS media loader and/or thumbnailer? 
*       Which staff is responsible for adding images to your database?
*       Do you have a centralized TMS image folder, or do you have
multiple image folder paths in TMS?
*       Do you enter archival storage information in the Media module?

Thanks for any and all insight you may be able to offer --

All the best,
Jeri
