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
