Hello Suzanne, Like Ann Marr at the New Brunswick Museum, we are beginning a project to create digital captures of the remaining half of our collection, and link them to TMS. We are currently trying to work out image linking procedures, and establish standards and protocols for using the media module in TMS. I would be interested in reviewing the manual created by Larry Giacoletti, or at least sharing questions and concerns that we might have and get some input from you and/or Larry. Thanks, Scott Nacke Assistant Registrar/Image Rights Manager Seattle Art Museum 100 University Street PO Box 22000 Seattle, Washington 98122-9700 206.654.3130 Direct 206.654.3135 Fax [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Suzanne Quigley ( [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 10:58 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Linking Images The brilliant Larry Giacoletti at the Whitney has written a manual on how to link images to objects in TMS and now curatorial assistants do it themselves. I'm sure we can share it with you. I do not like to attach such things to a list serve as it has a lot of screenshots in it. But I will email it to you individually if you wish. Let me know if you want it and I'll email it the week of the 17th. Suzanne BYTW, We don't care much whether poor images are added to the database if it is the only image we have. The database is used for ID purposes only. Larger image files are stored on CD's, etc., and bitmapped for TMS. -----Original Message----- From: Stephanie Leverock [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 12:35 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Linking Images Hi All, We have only started using the Media Module during the past year or so. Over the next several months are hoping to begin linking all permanent collection images as a project executed by our Photography Dept. but managed by me. I wanted to ask whether any museums have centralized the project like this and limited access to creating records in the media module to only a small group. Particularly for larger museum's, if you have allowed curatorial and other dept's such as Design, Conservation to link images, how has this been coordinated to ensure that poor images are not added to the database, and how has it gone? Many Thanks for your advice. Stephanie Leverock Records Manager/Collections Review Coordinator Brooklyn Museum of Art 200 Eastern Parkway Brooklyn, N.Y. 11238 Tel: 718-501-6483/Fax: 718-501-6135
