Dear colleagues, As our museum moves away from a model where curatorial staff manage their own storage spaces to one where Collections Management facilitates access to storage, we have begun to look about for an existing work flow application to integrate with our TMS database. Ideally this application would facilitate art handling requests, formalizing the process beyond email/phone calls/hallway conversations to provide our curatorial and conservation staff with a user-friendly solution for their requests. Specifically we envision staff using the application to refer to TMS object packages when making requests for object movement/installation/mounts/study appointments, etc. Requests would trigger email(s) to the appropriate staff and create a secure, manageable list with deadlines for our chief preparator to oversee. Does anyone have any recommendations for an out-of-the-box or home grown system that they would be willing to share? We would be most grateful!
