hi ... Sweden, Stockholm Moderna Museet here I´ll try a quick answer Albin Dahlström -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: The Museum System (TMS) Users [mailto:[log in to unmask]]För Jeri Moxley Skickat: den 26 januari 2005 19:16 Till: [log in to unmask] Ämne: TMS Media Module 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? > yes, as large as possible within the 2000 pixels limit, and for the images kept on CD A3 300dpi * * How much metadata do you include with your TMS Media records? > just basics photographer, date view and where to find the high-res image * * Do you use the TMS media loader and/or thumbnailer? > yes, but I guess we use the medialoader, with a script to generate, the metadata so it has to be more than 100 pieces * for us to use it. * Which staff is responsible for adding images to your database? several, but only me do the most of it * Do you have a centralized TMS image folder, or do you have multiple image folder paths in TMS? well, there is one main folder and in that goes the thumbnails and one extra folder for portraits. * Do you enter archival storage information in the Media module? > yes, cause we store the high-res images on CD/DVD Thanks for any and all insight you may be able to offer -- All the best, Jeri **** Jeri L.
