Dear Jeri,
* image size: largest side between 1600-1800 pixels, ppi 72, jpeg quality 95%. Some exceptions are allowed. When you use various ppi's for your jpegs you wiil get in trouble when printing thumbs in Crystal reports.
* media type, public caption (here we also put the photographer), text entries and for special projects specific attributes groups
* we do not use the loader and the thumbnailer. I have been using AutoIt (freeware to simulate key presses, mouse movements and window commands) some years ago when TMS got the possibility to store thumbs in the db.
* adding images to the db is limited to our TmsTeam (2 persons). it is not a good idea to allow many people to do this.
* in our image folder we have different subs for the different modules (with subs-subs fot the thumbs) or special project only using the Media module. This way we use images in Objects, Objects-conservation, (Historic) Events, Loans, Shipping. We paid special attention to imagefile-naming so that they contain direct information reffering to the subject and provide some usefull information when browsing images without being logged into TMS.
* archival storage information is not yet entered

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
