Elizabeth,

 

At MFA, Boston, we catalogue all of our media in TMS (both digital and
analogue). Currently we have 472,737 media files. They include
professional object photography, MFA events, gallery and exhibition
photography, images of constituents, packing and shipping images,
curatorial snapshots, old registration photography, and conservation
photography and documentation. File types include digital images, Excel
and Word documents, PDFs, Quick time movies, audio files, video files,
and so on). All media files are linked to records in one or more of the
Modules in TMS.

Morning All, 

 

I was wondering if anyone out there used TMS as their institutions
Digital Asset Management tool?  Any thoughts on its effectiveness and
any other systems you might be using would be a huge help.

 

Thanks!
