Dear Ashley,

Although we do not yet put bibliography information on the web, our library uses it for the public a great deal.

When a library patron asks for publications about a particular object, the library runs a report that lists the bib information on all the publications in our library about that object and gives the report to the patron. This information is derived from records in  the Bibliography Module, not from the field on the documentations tab in the Objects Module.

At the MFA, our library staff has taken on the responsibility for creating new bibliography records as publications are acquired, and for linking our objects to the new record.

Hello TMS users-

Do any museums out there make public the information in the bibliographic module of TMS? Our library is beginning to use this module, but wants to know the possibilities of making this accessible through our website. Any websites, or information is appreciated.

Thanks,

Ashley
